Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Moon outside my window, blues out my back door
 I've got one hand stretched to heaven
 And my feet stuck to the floor
 I'm waiting on the sunrise, cold and all alone
 Come the light of day I'm gonna make my way
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Snakes down in my barley, rats up in my corn
 People try to deal me dirty
 Since the day that I was born
 Hard times weigh so heavy, and I'm only meat and bones
 Come rain or shine, moving down the line
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 
 Get up, get up
 Oh, I'm getting ready, y'all
 Get up
 I'm gonna leave this town
 Get up
 Alright now
 
 Home, gonna see my family, home, gonna see my friends
 Home, gonna see my Jesus, when this highway finally ends
 Now I hear the voices calling, I don't need no telephone
 I'm gonna heave this sack from running 'cross my back
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up
 Oh, I'm getting ready to go home
 Get up
 See my family
 Get up
 See my friends, yeah
 Get up
 See my Jesus
 Get up
 We gonna pray together
 Get up
 Oh, we gonna stay together
 Get up
 We gonna have a hallelujah good time
 Get up
 Everybody gonna join hands now
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 Get up, I'm getting ready to go back home
 I'm going home in the morning, yeah, yeah
