"Ocmulgee River" lyrics

Hey, Ocmulgee River
It's good to see you again
Feels like forever since I seen ya last, longer than God knows when
Hey, Ocmulgee River
You sure ain't changed a bit
I see you're still floodin' the boat ramp at Knowles whenever it rains a little over an inch

Seems like you still got a pretty good bream bed bite
Me? Hell, I'm doin' alright

I been rollin' up and down the highway
Singin' songs that I wrote about
A little map dot down there in Georgia
That I'm missin' like hell right now
I don't know where the next road goes
Where this guitar's gonna take me
But I damn sure know where I'd love for it to be

Hey, Ocmulgee River
It's gotta be hard to count
All the Jack and Cokes you and West Lake Road
Have seen me and the boys drink down
Sometimes it still feels weird
Livin' up in Tennessee
No, I ain't got it all figured out
But I bet you'd be proud of me

I been rollin' up and down the highway
Singin' songs that I wrote about
A little map dot down there in Georgia
That I'm missin' like hell right now
I don't know where the next road goes
Where this guitar's gonna take me
But I damn sure know where I'd love for it to be

Hey, Ocmulgee River
Guess I'll be getting' on my way
Don't know when I'll see you again
But I can promise you one day
Whether it's in this truck of mine
Or when my time on this earth is through
Ocmulgee River, I'll be calling you home again
I hope it's someday soon
