Porterville Lyrics
But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone.
Things they said when I was young are quite enough to get me hung.
I don't care! I don't care!
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind.
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
And you can guess that I've been runnin' ever since.
Ain't no one that's 'bout to help, and I'll keep on, I tell myself.
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!
I don't care! I don't care!

I agree with you tman, it's one of the best going home song. Whereever "home" is.
It makes me think of my father who moved about 500 Km south a couple of years ago. He comes and visits me a lot but i don't go down there anymore. His woman and I don't go along nicely... But often I feel that I'm getting blamed for his errors by people. So it has a kind of special meaning for me.
