I think I'm goin' mad
and it's makin' me sad
It's a yearning' for
my old back door
I realize maybe
I was born to lead
Better swallow my
silly country pride
Goin' home running' home
Down the gasoline alley
where I started from
Goin' home and I'm running' home
Down the gasoline alley
where I was born
When the weather's better
and rails unfreeze
And the wind won't
whistle 'round my knees
I'll put on my weather suit
and catch you in the rain
I'll be home before
the milk's upon the door
Goin' home running' home
Down the gasoline alley
where I started from
Goin' home and I'm running' home
Down the gasoline alley
where I was born
But if anything should happen
and my plans go wrong
Should I stray to
the house on the hill
Let it be known that my
intentions were good
I'd be singing in my
alley if I could
And if I'm goin' away
and it's my turn to go
Should the blood run
cold in my veins
Just one favor
I'd be askin' of you
Don't bury me here it's too cold
Take me back carry me back
Down to gasoline alley where
I started from
Take me back won't cha
carry me home down
The gasoline alley where
I started from
Take me back carry me back
Down the gasoline alley
where I started from
Take me back carry me back down
The gasoline alley where
I started from
Take me back carry me back
Down the gasoline alley
where I started from
