Flying South

(Cindy Walker)

Winter's gone and summertime's a comin'
And where I am ain't where I wanna be
I can hear my southern home a callin'
And it's callin' out the old wild goose and me.

Flyin', flyin', south to Dixie
Lord, I been so lonesome and alone
Stayin' ain't no use because my heart's an old wild goose
And tomorrow I'll be flyin' south and home.

I've got kids and kin down in Kentucky
I've got lots of aunts in Alabam
Mom's a waitin' down in Mississippi
And my sist's in Carolina's honey land.

Grandma and grandpa's down in Georgia
And my uncle's down in Tennessee
There's a little part of southland in my heart
And honey in the south is where I wanna be...
