I think I know now whats makin me sad   It's yearning for my own backyard   I realized baby I was wrong to leave    Better swallow up my foolish country pride   Callin home    Runnin home back to gasoline alley    Where I started from   Callin home    Runnin home back to gasoline alley    Where I was born      Where the weathers better and the rails don't freeze   And the wind don't whistle around your knees   I'll put on my weather suit and catch an early train   I'll be home before the milks upon your door   Goin home    Runnin home back to gasoline alley    Where I started from   Callin home    Runnin home back to gasoline alley    Where I was from      Goin home    Runnin home back to gasoline alley    Where I started from   Goin home    Runnin home back to gasoline alley    Where I was born      If anything should happen and my plans go wrong    Should I stray to the house on the hill   Let it be known that my intentions are good   I'd be singing in the alley if I could    And if I'm called away and it's my turn to go   Should the blood run cold in my veins   Just one favor I'll be askin of you    Don't bury me here its to cold      Take me back   Carry me back down to gasoline alley    Where I started from   Take me home   Carry me home back to gasoline alley   Where I was born      Take me back   Carry me back down to gasoline alley    Where I started from   Take me home   Carry me home back to gasoline alley   Where I was born      Take me back   Carry me home yeah   Take me back    Don't bury me here its to cold   Carry me home   Take me back its to cold
