My home ain't in the hall of fame
And you can go there, you won't find my name
And my songs don't belong
On the Top 40 radio
I'm gonna make that old back forty be my home
Well, I'm no truck-drivin' man
And I hitchhike all I can
Oh, but I know the road
And it takes me where I wanna go
And I've got a sunburnt thumb
And I'm just a highway bum
I'm gonna play my guitar
And fall in love some more
My home ain't in the hall of fame
Oh, you can go there and you won't find my name
And my songs don't belong
On the Top 40 radio
I'm gonna make that old back forty be my home
Well, I've left some friends behind
And some have left me crying
And some have them have stayed right here by my side
And it's so good to have a home
And sometimes it's good to be alone
Oh, but it sure feels good
To get your good friends high
My home ain't in the hall of fame
And you can go there, you won't find my name
And my songs don't belong
On the Top 40 radio
I'm gonna make that old back forty be my home
