I’ve been cruising down the highway
Through swamplands and dry plains
Cajun river rolling into Mississippi mud
I’ve been riding north from Hammond
On 55 through Jackson
Till that Alabama anthem starts a’ boiling in my blood
And I’ve been on this road too long
My tank’s on empty and the radio’s off
I can feel it in the air, I can hear her sweet, sweet song
Let that cold water rise up and wash over me
Come on, now, singing river, serenade me home
I can hear those chestnuts fall
The family’s gathered in the yard
The smoke is swirling from the coal beneath the grill
I can see those cypress trees
That line the rocky Tennessee
The beaten path along the bluffs at Whippoorwill
(Chorus)
I can smell those autumn leaves
The maples swaying in the breeze
I can hear that freight train ramblin’ down the tracks
I can see Old Father Time
Sit down to kick back and recline
The sun is rising; I can see my home, at last
(Chorus)
