Waycross, Georgia

I met a man from Waycross, Georgia
I met a man from Waycross, Georgia
He was traveling down the road
He was traveling down the road

I asked that man from Waycross, Georgia
I asked that man from Waycross, Georgia
Do you mind if I come along?
Do you mind if I come along?

He said: Listen to me stranger
He said: Listen to me stranger
I'm just going home, I'm just going home

In his eyes was joy and pain
In his eyes was joy and pain
When he said I must go alone
I must go alone

Along that road that leads toward home
Along that road that leads toward home
Are the people who fed your life
The people who fed your life

Smile and thank each one of those people
Smile and thank each one of those people
And then say farewell
Say farewell
