Lyrics

Yeah, the doctors don't know, but New York was killing me
 Bunch of doctors coming round, they don't know
 That New York is killing me
 Yeah, I need to go home and take it slow down in Jackson, Tennessee
 Let me tell ya fast city ain't living all, it's cracked up to be
 Fast city living it all, it's cracked up to be
 Yes seem I need to go home
 And slow down in Jackson, Tennessee
 Yes I lay down, I lay down
 The doctor try to take it all in
 Yeah lay down, lay down
 To try to take it all in
 Yeah you got 8 million people
 And I didn't have a single friend
 Don't you know, don't you know
 New York was killing me
 Yes, I was standing nearly dying
 And New York was killing me
 Seems like I need to start over
 And move back home to Jackson, Tennessee
 Lord have mercy, mercy on me
 Yeah, Lord have mercy, have mercy on me
 Lord have mercy, mercy on me
 Yeah, Lord have mercy, have mercy on me
 Tell him to bury my body back home in Jackson, Tennessee
 Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy
 Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy
 Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy
 Yeah, Lord have mercy, have mercy on me
 Yeah, I need to be back home, need to be back home
 Need to be back home, need to be back home, yeah
 Born in Chicago but I go home Tennessee
 Yeah, I born in Chicago but I...
 Down in Tennessee
