The lyric describes a man who has given up on modern society and wants to “check out” and live a simpler life. He believes he will be happier and healthier without all of the modern “conveniences”. “Home” perhaps describes a place but also describes a time, way of life, or way of thinking.
I used to run from the past
But the world got to spinnin' so fast
I run from the future now
I run as fast as I can
Tryin' to be a simple man
I just want to slow down
Well laugh if you want to
Call me a backward fool
But I ain't takin' this ride
Ya'll just go on ahead and go
Let me out by the side of the road
All I wanna do is go on home
Don't go online I don't watch TV
'Cause I know all im gonna see
Is something stupid goin' on
Stupid's in the water these days
They're gonna drink it any way
'Til they dont know right from wrong
Yeah laugh if you want to
Call me a backwards fool
But I ain't takin' this ride
Ya'll just go on ahead and go
Let me out by the side of the road
All I wanna do is go on home
Yeah all I wanna do is go on home
