(yodelling)
I'm so tired and lonesome too,
Know just what I'd like to do,
Pack my little suitcase,
Go back to my home place.

Take your highways, your byeways,
Your broad ways, your fraud ways,
But give me old Main Street down home!
Take your good times, your bad times,
Your wild times, your mild times,
But I'll always feel all alone!

Everything here lacks that heartbeat,
Nothing seems just like old Main Street.

Take your fly girls, your sly girls,
Your shy girls, goodbye girls,
'Cause my girl's on Main Street down home!

Take your highways, your byeways,
Your broad ways, your fraud ways,
But give me old Main Street down home!
Take your good times, your bad times,
Your wild times, your mild times,
But I'll always feel all alone!

Everything here lacks that heartbeat,
Nothing seems just like old Main Street.

Take your fly girls, your sly girls,
Your shy girls, goodbye girls,
'Cause my girl's on Main Street down home!
