   Sometimes I don't recognize,
 sometimes i don't recognize
   the house I live in,
 or the  street that my house is on
   Sometimes I don't recognize,
 sometimes i don't recognize
   the patterns on my shirt
   the way my shoes are tied
   we know the  way things go  down,
 we know a  lot of people,
   for people  in  small  town
 we know a  lot of people
   we know the  way things go  down
   Sometimes I don't recognize,
 that leads me to be surprised,
   on my way home I'm walkin'
   home for the first time
   Sometimes I don't sympathize
 with all the sick and the tired,
   whats in it being a bum,
   whats in it being admired,
   Some street go  up, some go  down
 and it's just  too much trouble,
   we know the  smells and the  sound,
 we know a  lot of people,
   we know the  way things go  down
 well I can  fight like the devil
   or do what I'm told,
 but one of  these days momma
 I've  got to hit the road,
   on my way  home
 Sometimes I don't recognize,
 sometimes i don't recognize
 the house I live in,
 or the street that my house is on
 Sometimes I don't recognize,
 that leads me to be surprised,
 on my way home I'm walkin' home
 for the first time
 Some street go up, some go down
 and it's just too much trouble,
 we know the way things go down,
 for people in a small town
 we pass a lot of people,
 we know the way things go down
 well I can fight like the devil
 or do what I'm told,
 but one of these days momma
 I've got to hit the road,
 on my way home
 I'm comin home
 I'm walkin home, coming home,
 thats where I'm goin....
