I was driving so fast I missed the sign
turned around at the county line
cause everything looks different now a days

there's the old ball field where I used to play
where my pitching arm saw it's better days
we finished three games out of first one year

man there's nothing like going home
and seeing where you roamed

where the tea's as sweet as pecan pie
and all the chickens southern fried
and your the apple of your momma's eye
where the northern meets the southern pine
just across the mason dixon line
that's where you'll find that old homeplace of mine
yeah that's where I go, when I'm going home

I was 18 when I went away
laid tracks with my old chevrolet
been to long I've really missed this place

Drove down on main st., just to see
if anyone still remembered me
thought I saw an old familiar face

man there's nothing like going home
and seeing where you roamed


where the tea's as sweet as pecan pie
and all the chickens southern fried
and your the apple of your momma's eye
where the northern meets the southern pine
just across the mason dixon line
that's where you'll find that old homeplace of mine
yeah that's where I go, when I'm going home
