Back Home In Huntsville Again Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Bare

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 

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 

So open the gates up... 

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 

So open the gates up... 

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 

So open the gates up... 

Yes I'm back home in Huntsville again
