Guess I knew it all along
I'd have to come back home
'Caude this living on the road
Only makes me tired and sore
Like a bird without a nest
Like a stranger in the night
And my soul cries out for rest
And the end is not in sight
Tastes like sweet magnolia wine
Honey dripping from your mouth
And that sweet little gal of mine
She's the finest in the south
Now the day's are gettin'longer
And the nights are gettin' colder
I just want to come back home
Lay my head down on your shoulder
Guess I knew it all along
I'd have to come back home
'Caude this living on the road
Only makes me tired and sore
Like a bird without a nest
Like a stranger in the night
And my soul cries out for rest
And the end is not in sight

Jesse Colin Young did this one first...in 1973: "Mornin' Sun"



Wikepedia says it was Jesse Winchester in 1974 on "Learn to Love It"

Great song off a gem of an album. Saw them live many years ago. Support for Leon Russell. The support band from hell as someone wrote. They sure were. Fantastic concert and very hard act to follow

Album cover is awesome.
 
I passed up several opportunities to see them in iconic bars in and around my home back when I was not of legal drinking age. I could have gotten in back in those days and I was stupid to not go. Que sera.

From Wikipedia "Winchester was the first to record the songs "Third Third Rate Romance" and "The End is Not in Sight", both written by Russel Smith."

Good pick, Bill.

Good Lord, I haven't heard this gem since the 1970s. Thanks for helping it resurface. Has that Marshall Tucker sound/feel to it.
