Lincoln County

I've gotta get a train, take me back home again
See my daddy, momma wants to see me too
I'm gonna see my momma looking through the window
At the station in the morning, been a few mornings since I've been home

I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home
So come on girls, you better put your best boots on

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, won't know which way to go
I'm gonna find all those pretty girls, I'm gonna find them all
'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell
Drink some beer, I'm gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more

Well, I bought a new suit at the best pawn broker's shop
Bought my ticket from money that I saved in jail
I got a boot lace tie, I got for my pa
I got a head scarf, fair, I got for my momma that she won't wear

I've been doing wrong but now I'm going home
So come on girls, you better put your best boots on

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, won't know which way to go
I'm gonna find all those pretty girls, I'm gonna find them all
'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell
Drink some beer, gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more

Yeah, now I've gotta get a train, take me back home again
See my daddy, momma wants to see me too

'Cause when I get me back to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell
Drink some beer, gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more
'Cause when I get back to Lincoln County, gonna lift the lid off hell
Drink some beer, gonna live it swell, then gonna shout for more

'Cause when I get home to Lincoln County, don't know which way to go
I'm gonna find all those pretty girls, I'm gonna find them all
