Carry me back Carry me back Carry me back, I been away too long I'm goin' home where I belong. Oh for the pillow where my head used to lay 'Fore I left to be a grown man, way back then I miss the wooden kitchen floor Painted brown to match the old back door In my old Kentucky home where I belong. Carry me back Carry me back Carry me back, I been away so long I'm goin' back where I come from. Something I read one day might have heard somebody say Made me leave my happy home, sure I neer left Fortune waitin' in the city, pretty women just like in the movies The craziest mess you ever wanna see. Carry me back Carry me back, ain't nothin' here for me Carry me back, I wanna get back home Take me back where I belong.

Carry me back Carry me back Carry me back, I wanna get back home Take me back where I come from.
