Artist Biography by Thom Jurek via AllMusic

Not so. Ellis Hooks was born in Bayminette, Alabama, between Birmingham and Montgomery.

I Don’t Want To Go Home
Ellis Hooks
Standard tuning, no capo
[Verse]
G D C Am
Somethin’ inside me, love the days, the open road
G D C Am
Meetin’ people on my way, they stop and help me carry my load
C D G Em
I don’t mind if it get too quiet, I don’t mind feelin’ alone
F C D G
I’m havin’ too much fun, I don’t want to go home
[Verse]
G D C Am
You don’t have to be rich , you don’t have to be clever
G D C Am
If you sit around waitin’ for somethin’ to happen, you can sit around waitin’ forever
C D G Em
I’ve been goin’ where the road will take me, I can face the unknown
F C D G
Feel my feet arise, I don’t want to go home
C G
If I go where I came from, there’s nothin’ waitin’ for me
Em C D
But obligations to chain me down, I just want to be free
[Interlude] (Verse notes):
G D C Am G D C Am C D G Em F C D
[Verse]
G D C Am
Everybody’s different, each has his own destiny
G D C Am
You can leave or you can stay, It’s a travelin’ life for me

Time never seemed to matter, when I’m out on my own
F C D G
I really love my life, I don’t want to go home
