    Lyrics

    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Why am I leaving my best good friends?
    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Somebody please make me wanna stay

    Here comes that old feeling again
    Old travelin’ bone trumps everything
    Just like Ol’ 55, I got tears in my eyes
    I wanna see those highway pearls tonight

    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Why am I leaving my best good friends?
    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Somebody please make me wanna stay

    I guess I got friends in lower places
    And I can’t stand not to see their faces
    My stay-put roots ain’t real strong, I got good boots and better songs
    Come help me now, fellow vagabonds

    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Why am I leaving my best good friends?
    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Somebody please make me wanna stay

    Somebody (somebody!), somebody (somebody!)
    Somebody please, make me wanna stay
    Somebody (somebody!), somebody (somebody!)
    Somebody please, make me wanna stay

    Nobody (nobody!), nobody (nobody!)
    Nobody’s gonna make me wanna stay
    Nobody (nobody!), nobody (nobody!)
    Nobody’s gonna make me wanna stay

    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Why am I leaving my best good friends?
    Why am I leaving my home again?
    Somebody please make me wanna stay
