v.1
Gee, but it's great to be back home
Home is where I want to be
I been on the road so long, my friend
An if you came along I know you couldn't disagree

Chorus:
Well, it's the same old story, yeah
Everywhere I go, I get slandered
Libelled, I hear words I never heard in the Bible

An' I'm one step ahead of a shoeshine
Two steps away from the county line
Just tryin' to keep my customers satisfied, satisfied

v.2
Deputy sherriff said to me
Tell me what you come here for boy
You better get your bags and flee
You're in trouble boy, and now you're headin' into more

And I'm so tired, I'm so-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh tired
Just tryin' to keep my customers satisfied, satisfied
