Take Me Back

TAKE ME BACK - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Take me back to that hill and that old red shack

Let me go back to the ways of all my kin 

Take me back to that hill and that old red shack

Let me go back to my family and friends 

Living on my own and learning what life's about 

It's a little tougher than I thought

Oh, I got to get out 

Get out of this big city, and back where I belong 

I know it's coming in the future 

It won't be very long 

Take me back to that hill and that old red shack

Let me go back to the ways of all my kin 

Take me back to that hill and that old red shack

Let me go back to my family and friends

The good life and the promise ain't what it seems to be

People going around trying to take your money

Oh, it's not for me 

I wish I could teach these folks how to break free

There's such a vast difference between New York City

And good ole Tennessee 

Just take me back to that hill and that old red shack

Let me go back to the ways of all my kin 

Take me back to that hill and that old red shack

Let me go back to my family and friends
