| My home ain’t in the Hall of Fame |
| You can go there, but you won’t find my name |
| And my song don’t belong on Top 40 radio |
| I’ll keep the old back 40 for my home |
| Ain’t no truck-drivin' man |
| Baby, I hitchhike all I can |
| Hey, I know the highway, it takes me where I need to go |
| I got a sunburned thumb |
| Yeah, I’m just a highway bum |
| Just have to play my guitar and fall in love some more |
| My home ain’t in the Hall of Fame |
| You can go there, but you won’t find my name |
| And my songs don’t belong on Top 40 radio |
| I’ll keep the old back 40 for my home |
| Some friends I left behind |
| You know, some have left me cryin' |
| And some have stayed right up there by my side |
| It’s good to have a home |
| Sometimes it’s good to be alone |
| You know, it sure feels good just to keep your good friends high, high |
| My home ain’t in the Hall of Fame |
| You can go there, but you won’t find my name |
| And my songs don’t belong on Top 40 radio |
| I’ll keep the old back 40 for my home |
| Yeah, I’ll keep the old back 40 for my home |
