Matter how hard I try
I just can´t get it right
I´m trying to make a brand new friend
And everybody trying to fight

It ain´t easy, it ain´t fair
Is the world so messed up
Am I the only one to care?
So much love that I´m willing to share, alright, yeah
I´ve got it right here

So many things that I´m trying to do right
Trying to make friends
But everyone wanna fight
Matter how hard I try
I just can´t get it right
Working from early in the morning
Up until the edge of night
I guess I´ll go back home
Where a country boy belong

I´ve been so many places

City from town to town
Looking for a real good woman
They all seem to turn me down
I´m looking for a Louisiana girl
To put into my place
So when I wake up in the morning
There´d be a smile on her face
I guess I´ll go back home
Where a country boy belong
Ooh, belong

And I´ll tell you one more thing
I´m used to dealing with doubt
Should I be in the big city?
You know my money´s running out
Cost too much for a hamburger
And they want too much for fries
You better not talk to the big leg woman

´Cause they want too much for the thigh
I guess I´ll go back home, yeah, go back home
I guess I´ll go back home
Where a country boy belong
Oh, going home, take it home now
