Waiting for a ride by the edge of the road
With a brown paper bag that hold my clothes
Tonight I'm going home where I belong
Good lord willing and the creek don't rise
And if my luck holds out, and I catch a ride
When the sun goes down tomorrow, I should be home

I'm going back to the people I love
Back to the place that I dream of
It's true that there's no place like home sweet home
The one I want to see the most
Is the one that begged me not to go
When the sun goes down tomorrow, I should be home

This big city ain't no kind of place
For a country girl with a friendly face
When you smile people look at your funny, they take it wrong
They laugh at my talking and the clothes I wear
They put me down and they call me square
When the sun goes down tomorrow, I should be home

I'm going back to the people I love
Back to the place that I dream of
It's true that there's no place like home sweet home
The one I want to see the most
Is the one that begged me not to go
When the sun goes down tomorrow, I should be home

I'm going back to the people I love
Back to the place that I dream of
It's true that there's no place like home sweet home
The one I want to see the most
Is the one that begged me not to go
When the sun goes down tomorrow, I should be home
When the sun goes down tomorrow, I should be home

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
