(my Home Ain't In The) Hall Of Fame Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

My home ain't in the hall of fame 

You can go there but you won't find my name 

And my songs don't belong on top forty radio 

I'll keep the old back forty for my home 

Ain't no truck drivin' man 

Baby, I hitch-hike all I can 

I know the highway 

It takes me where I need to go 

I got a sunburned thumb 

Yeah, I'm just a highway bum 

Playin' my guitar and fall in love some more 

My home ain't in the hall of fame 

You can go there but you won't find my name 

And my songs don't belong on top forty radio 

I'll keep the old back forty for my home 

Some friends I left behind 

You know some have left me cryin' 

And some have stayed right up there by my side 

It's good to have a home 

Sometimes it's good to be alone 

You know it sure feels good just to 

Keep your good friends high
