[Verse 1]
Ridin' in planes and hailin' cabs
Been on the road so long
Lookin' for the sunshine every day
That I been missin' so long
It's just two blocks over, one street across
Uptown, around, and down
But there musta been somethin' just hidin' out somewhere
Someplace I ain't found

[Chorus]
Annie, orphan Annie
Are your Nashville nights still warm?
Somewhere to the west of town
Well, it's comin' up a storm
Are your rivers dark and muddy
Where the green swamp willows grow?
Nine more days and I'll be home
Lord, back in off the road

[Verse 2]
Pickin' and grinnin' and playin' their games
So listen to what I say
I wish I were down in Nashville town
About Fifth and Broadway
Whеre the Cumberland rows, thе soft wind blows
And home, it ain't far away
But here I sit in New York City
Just hangin' out every day
[Chorus]
Annie, orphan Annie
Are your Nashville nights still warm?
Somewhere to the west of town
It's comin' up a storm
Are your rivers dark and muddy
Where the green swamp willows grow?
Nine more days and I'll be home
Lord, back in off the road

[Chorus]
Annie, orphan Annie
Are your Nashville nights still warm?
Somewhere to the west of town
It's comin' up a storm
Are your rivers dark and muddy
Where the green swamp willows grow?
Nine more days and I'll be home
Lord, back in off the road
Nine more days and I'll be home
Lord, back in off the road
