Open Road

I'm longin' for the old-time singin'
I miss the dinner-bell's sweet ringin'
I'll hit the open road, I'm a-goin' back today

There's a little road still winding
Honeysuckle vines still twining
Packin' things to go and hit the open road, and I'll go back home
What a fool I was for leavin'
I know the ones I love still grievin'
I'll go back now, and nevermore I'll roam

Once again I hear the hound dogs bayin'
Hear my mother softly prayin'
Thankin' God for keepin' my so safe till I get home
I'm longin' for the old-time singin'
I miss the dinner-bell's sweet ringin'
I'll hit the open road, I'm a-goin' back today

Once again I hear the hound dogs bayin'
Hear my mother softly prayin'
Thankin' God for keepin' my so safe till I get home
I'm longin' for the old-time singin'
I miss the dinner-bell's sweet ringin'
I'll hit the open road, I'm a-gonna go back today
