Going Home

I worked in the fields
Most all my life
But one day I decided to leave
I went to New York City
The things I saw
The folks back home
They wouldn't believe.
I saw them long-legged women
Looked like skin and bone
Dresses so short
They barely had one on.

I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
Big enough to keep me warm.

Standin' on corners
Watching all them cars
Lawd they looked like limousines
I heard one say
He had a chick in his car
That was so hard to believe
I couldn't get myself together
No matter how I tried
The women there are too little
To take for a ride

I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
Big enough to keep me warm.

I cuss the day
I caught that train
That's taken me away from home
I left a fine young woman
Spent all my money
On nothing but skin and bones
Well I hope it's not too late
'Cause I'm goin' back
I just found out where all the meat is at

I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
I'm goin' home
Where women got some meat on their bones
'Cause there ain't a woman in this town
Big enough to keep me warm.

Hahaha
I'm goin' back, where all the meat is at
Hahaha
Think I'll go back down to Arkansas, Tennessee,
Louisiana, you name it
All them girls down there got some meat on their bones
I'm ready to go back to Little Rock, Arkansas.
I'm sure all the girls
down there got some meat on their bones.
