Is anybody going north to Cincinnati
I'm a-going home to be with mom and daddy
Well I've been to Nashville a way too long
I've got to find a way back home
Is anybody going north to Cincinnati
With a guitar and dream I came to Nashville
But I watched my dream go up in smoke
And I had to pawn my guitar down on Broad Street
Cause a man sure gets lonesome when he's broke
* Refrain
I was standing at the back door of the Opry
I asked every star that passed my by
If anybody was going north to Cincinnati
Could give this poor boy a ride
* Refrain
