Well I was born on a dusty road
with the wind on my back
and the sun on my shoulder.
But now I live in a dirty old town
and it’s draggin’ me down.

I wanna be where the corn is high
and the air that I breathe
makes me know I’m alive.
I’m going back when the time is right
in a week or two.

Yes I will – that’s a deal!
But the twilight birds
are calling me tonight.

I got a job in the factory
it don’t pay much and it’s boring me.
I should have been a country boy
and I will some day.

Oh yes I will – that’s a deal!
But the twilight birds
are calling me tonight.
