of ALL Lyrics from 'I'm Growing'
NOTES:
One of my favorite songs when I was growing
up was “(Sittin’ on) the Dock of the Bay” by
Otis Redding. The yearning for home that he sung about struck
a deep chord in me.
These lyrics echo Otis’ (both songs are about a guy from
the south stuck in Frisco). But whereas Otis’ man just stayed
sittin’ there, my guy decides to get up and walk all the
way home. |

Walkin’
Back to Texas

previous song
Lonely, all by my lonesome in Frisco it’s
Cold, the fog blows all day long
Back in Texas the sunshine is certain
It’s dry, it’s hot, it’s where I belong
On my knees, begging please
Home, is where, is where I belong
Bah do dee…
Mama, hear me, please hear me, I’m calling your phone
But you don’t call me back
All I need is a ticket on greyhound
You know, this time I’ll pay you back
I’ll be good, like I should
Oh, please mama I wanna come back
Please, please mama, please take me back
Bah do dee…
So I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’ the highway
The dust and dirt are in my hair
Through the valleys and over the mountains
To home, can’t wait til I am there
I’m on my way, home to stay
Home is where I’m bound today
Bah do dee…
