    G              F                   C                 G 
Oh, babe I hate to leave you here down in this one horse town 
          G                           F                                         C       G 
Where the train runs through the your early morning dreams, just leave that old wailin' sound 
        G                  F                C                  G 
Oh, but I'm coming back, I will return, now women you wait for me 
    G                   F            C               G 
I'm bound to travel the USA from the desert unto the sea 
    G                 F                           C                 G 
I'v got another song about the South you know its white now and its black 
        G           F                    C                   G 
They're ain't banjo on my knee, but that song is still on my back 
            C                 G  
Hey, it's a long, long way to Hollywood  
           F            C          G 
And it's a short, short chance for fame 
C                    G    
All them slicks keep talkin back home  
      F       C        G  
But I make it just the same 
         F       C        G  
Oh, I'll make it just the same  
I've got a new song for all them people hovering down in the Georgia night 
Lord I know they're wings are heavy now cause they've been on a lonesome flight 
All them poor old depression people, babe, you know they took a heavy load  
All the children, kinfolks, cousins too still walking down Tobacco Road 
Well they still tell me bout Hank Williams, Lord, their clinging unto his fame 
I'm from the same race, I'm from the same place, got the same lonesome blood in my veins 
 
Chorus
