  • I think I'd like to go
    back home
    And take it easy
    There's a woman that
    I'd like to get to know
    Living there

    Everybody seems to wonder
    What it's like down here
    I gotta get away
    from this day-to-day
    running around,
    Everybody knows
    this is nowhere.

    Everybody, everybody knows
    Everybody knows.

    Every time I think about
    back home
    It's cool and breezy
    I wish that I could be there
    right now
    Just passing time.

    Everybody seems to wonder
    What it's like down here
    I gotta get away
    from this day-to-day
    running around,
    Everybody knows
    this is nowhere.

    Everybody, everybody knows
    Everybody knows. Writer/s: Neil Young
