Feel it's time to move my bones
Miss something that's back home
The moon like a lantern, hanging in a big old tree
My own lady taking the mischief fight on me
Friends I'm sure can't see me now
When I hit that old hometown
I'm sat in the backyard, sipping on a jug o' dew
My own lady taking the things that make me blue
Lord, I've never been one to sit still long
I've got to move on, Lord
I've been in a lot of places
Ain't no place like home sweet home
The moon like a lantern, hanging in a big old tree
My own lady taking the mischief fight on me
Lord, I've never been one to sit still long
I've got to move on, Lord
I've been in a lot of places
Ain't no place like home sweet home
The moon like a lantern, hanging in a big old tree
My own lady taking the mischief fight on me
So let the sun shine down on me
Lay here, peaceful as can be
The world in my pocket, mellow as a lizard's eye
My own lady taking the troubles off my mind
