Story behind the song
Wrote this about my father who was a musician and a cabinetmaker, Just like me
Lyrics
WAY DOWN IN WAYCROSS G-C-D-EM
WELL I’M WAY DOWN IN WAYCROSS, GEORGIA , AND THE SUN IS SO HOT,
YOU CAN ALMOST SEE YOUR MEMORIES, CHILDHOOD DREAMS THAT WERE’NT FORGOTTON.
DADDY’S OLD ‘SHO-BUD IS RINGIN’, IN THE BACK ROOM NOW AND HE’S BEEN TUNIN’ A LOT
AND I WISH THAT I COULD GO WITH HIM
BUT I’M A TOO YOUNG RODIE, AND DADDY I,M REALLY GONNA MISS YOU
NOW THE CAT TAILS SWAY BY THE RIVER, WHERE MY BEST FRIEND DIED AND OH HOW I CRIED
BUT THE RED CLAY’LL COOL YOUR FEET BOY, ON A HOT GEORGIA DAY
MAN I WISH I COULD SAY WHAT THE SOUTH MEANS
LOOKIN BACK YOU KNOW IT FEELS LIKE YESTERDAY, A LITTLE TIME HERE AND A LITTLE TIME THERE
BUT THE FISHIN’ AND THE TUNIN’ AND THE STORIES WERE GOOD
BUT MOMMA WOULD CRY AND I KNOW THAT SHE WOULD
CAUSE ALL SHE WANTED WAS THE ONE MAN, TO STAY THERE AND LOVE HER
AND NOW I UNDERSTAND *****
AND HEY MISTER I AM WAY DOWN THIS OLD DIRT ROAD, ITS MY BROTHERS, MY SISTER AND ME
ON A HOT DAY DAY IN GEORGIA WE LAID OLE DADDY DOWN
EVERBODY LOVED THAT MUSIC MAN, AND SO DID WE
A CABINETMAKER AND HIS STEEL GUITAR HAVE JUST WALKED OFF THE STAGE
NO MORE ALL NIGHT SHOWS , IT’S TIME YOU SETTLED DOWN
AND THIS OLD ROADIE’S EYES ARE FILLED WITH TEARS AS WE LAY HIM IN THE GRAVE
THROUGH THE PINE TREES COMES A LONESOME SOUND
HEY DADDY I AM WAY DOWN IN WAYCROSS, GEORGIA
