Back Home In Huntsville Again lyrics

[Chorus]

Open the gates up hey screw did you miss me

Jimmy I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

'cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Verse 1]

This suit that I'm wearing cost two hundred dollars

But I got it free with a three dollar knife

I got tailor made shirts with them long pointy collars

And all it's gonna cost is ten years of my life

[Chorus]

So open the gates up hey screw did you miss me

Jimmy I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

'cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Verse 2]

I've been rousted and turned out at three in the morning

I've been roughed up and shook down and stood on my ear

I've tried to find work, but they called me a jailbird

So I went for the bundle and I've wound up back here

[Chorus]

So open the gates up hey screw did you miss me

Jimmy I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

'cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Verse 3]

I found me a woman as warm as the sunshine

Took her a year to slip out of her dress

She talk about havin' a little rose covered cottage

But roses cost money and you know the rest

[Chorus]

So open the gates up hey screw did you miss me

Jimmy I see that you found a new friend

Warden come down here and kiss me hello

'cause I'm back home in Huntsville again

[Outro]

Yes I'm back home in Huntsville again
