The closer I get to my home Lord the more I wanna be there
There'll be a gatherin' of loved ones and friends Lord you know I wanna be there
There'll be a mixture of teardrops and flowers crying and talking for hours
Bout how wild that I was and if I'd listened to them I wouldn't be there
Well there's old Charlie Toll they threw away the mold when they made him
And Jimmy McCline it looks like the wine's finally laid him
And Billie McRae that I could any day in a card game
And Bessie McNeal but her tears are real I can see pain
There's a mixture of teardrops...
Lord thanks for ride I got a feeling inside that I know you
And if you see your way you're welcome to stay cause I'm gonna need you
Your watching your watch and I know what's on your mind
There's someone home waiting and you're away over time
What should be so right is as wrong as can be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
I love you I love you I love only you
But the one home who's waiting he loves you too
He's worried and he's wondering where can you be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Though I want you and I need you desperately
But to hide here in the darkness is as wrong as can be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
On the hill where Custer was,
Making his last stand,
With the Indians all around,
And his gun in his hand.
Such a wind was blowing that day,
Through the battleground,
I could feel it in my hair,
As I turned towards downtown.
Weaving through the buildings,
Cutting though the streets,
Slicing through the culture,
Piling on the weeks.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home.
Dropping in on you my friend,
Is just like old times,
Said the fool who signed the paper,
To assorted slimes.
It's hard to get blood from a stone
But for you I'll give it a try,
To provide your accomodations,
And leave you satisfied.
You'd think it was easy,
To give your life away,
To not have to live up to,
The promises you made.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home.
Elusively she cut the phone,
Moved from cell to cell,
Really looking remarkable,
And obviously doing well.
She made a turn on a wooden bridge,
Into the battleground,
With a thousand warriors on the ridge,
She tried to turn her radio down.
Battle drums were pounding,
All around her car,
She saw her clothes were changing,
Into sky and stars.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Spendin' too much time away
I can't stand another day
Maybe you think I've seen the world
But I'd rather see my girl
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home
Yes, I am
All those letters ev'ry day
Maybe alright in their way
But I'd love to see your face
When I get home in their place
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home
Yes, I am
Alright
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home
Yes, I will
When you're three thousand miles away
I just never sleep the same
If I packed my things right now
I could be home in seven hours
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, bome, bome, bome-bome-bome,
Home, bome, bome, bome, back home
Yes, I will
Yes, I will
See my baby, see my baby
I wanna see my girl
I just can't wait, I just can't wait
I just can't wait, I just can't wait

(I'm goin' home I've been gone so doggone long now at last the rambling fever's gone
I'm goin' home I know that mama'll cry with joy
To see her wanderin' boy I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home I've lived in certain happiness I hadn't met with very much success
I'm goin' home I got holes in both my shoes and a bad case of blues I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home comin' walkin' ridin' when I can
I said I'd be a wealthy man the things don't work out always like you plan
I'm goin' home then maybe back there with my friends
I'll lose this bitterness that burns within
You think I could be the one to look inside your mind
I don't think we'll have the time, so let us get in line
Another town another bed, another thing to go
By now I learned to take it cool, but I don't wanna know
My head is empty, all the stories that I've known I've told
The situation I escaped from, now it looks like gold
Anyway and anyhow we did it, it was good
But now I take the time to think 'bout ev'rything I should
'cause after this I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you
By the time that you think 'bout it twice no spotlight makes you stay
By the time that you feel you don't know, you have to go
The plane is ready in my head, so many things to do
A few more hours till it's over I reach out for you
A kind of peace inside is growing, thinking 'bout the shows
Until the next time I'll be so much better, yes I know
Now this is it I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you
When you're around me
I´m full of misery all day
I can't go on
I can't go on this way
I can't go on
I can't go on this way
You don't want my lovin'
So I'm goin' away to stay
Don't try to find me
Don't even call me on the phone
Don't try to find me
Don't even call me on the phone
I'm better off without you
Midnight on a southern highway
Don't know if I'm going the right way
I haven't seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since I've seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
I've got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
I'm driving fast as I can
And you said you'd wait for me
Goin' Home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' Home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my family
Goin' Home
And I hope that they're still waiting there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
You're the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
I'm a man in motion
With only one compulsion
I've got to follow these dreams inside my heart
I'm not looking for a fight
No one's wrong and no one's right
And maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
I'm doing the best that I can
And you said you'd wait for me
Goin' Home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' Home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin' Home
And I hope that it's still waiting there for me
I though you might understand
I'm doing the best that I can
And you said you'd wait for me
Goin' Home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' Home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my family
Goin' Home
And I hope that they're still waiting there for me

Well I'm tired and cold an' I just don't know who to see

They can never take what's in your soul
And they can never break what keeps you whole
When the rain comes down, yea, yea, yea
And they may criticize the way you are
When they patronize the dreams you keep so far inside
I will go to where I feel the light, yea
I'm goin' home, o, yea
I'm goin' home, now
I'm goin' home, I cry
I'm goin' home now, o no
O no
Can you count the days that have left you dry
And can you count the ways you ask yourself why
You carry on, yea, yea, yea
And you can justify all you do
But when you look around and find you're alone
Tell me where can you turn to
I will go to where I feel the light, o yea
I'm goin' home, o yea
I'm goin' home now, yea I said
I'm goin' home, I cried
I'm goin' home now, o no
For the memories will keep me strong
'Cause you can never forget from where you still belong
For the times I'm lost when I look around
I know I'll always be heading northward bound, yea
I'm goin' home, I say
I'm goin' home now, o no
Here we go
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Yea goin' home, I cried now
I'm goin' home
Goin' home, no
I'm goin' home, o no
They can never take what's in your soul
And they can never break what keeps you whole, o no
I want to go home
You're watching your watch
And I know what's on your mind
There's someone home waiting
And you're way over time
What could be so right
Is as wrong as can be
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
I love you, I love you, I love only you
But the one home who's waiting
She loves you, too
She's watching and she's wonderin'
Oh where can you be
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
Though I want you and I need you desperately
To hide here in the darkness
Is as wrong as can be
Go on home, you don't belong here with me
I`m goin` back to a place on earth
it`s where we all come from
Love is in the air and flowers in our hair
the almost passionate desire
I`m goin` home - yeah
I`m goin` home now
I`m comin`in from the edge of the world
spirits soft arise
spires to conceive
no I never wanna leave
I guess the fire still burns inside
I`m goin` home - yeah
I`m goin` home now
by Walter Egan
Going home many years since I've been gone
On my way dreamed a scene of yesterday
Days when we lived at home
Memories once these streets belonged to me
I was young and just begun
Back to the old neighborhood
Filled with the ghosts of the past
Good just to stand where I'd stood
Home at last
Home again to my long lost long time friend
In the hal;l voices call
When did it all slip away
How has it all gone so fast
Now there is only today
Home at last
Goin home many years have come and gone
Time has flown and no one's home
I use to run from the past
But the world got to spinnin' so fast
I run from the future now
I run as fast as I can
Tryin' to be a simple man
I just want to slow down
[Chorus]
Well laugh if you want to
Call me a backwards fool
But I ain't takin' this ride
Ya'll just go on ahead and go
Let me out by the side of the road
All I wanna do is go on home
Don't go online I don't watch TV
Cause I know all I'm gonna see
Is something stupid goin' on
Stupids in the water these days
They're gonna drink it any way
Till they don't know right from wrong
[Chorus]
You think I could be the one to look inside your mind
I don't think we'll have the time, so let us get in line
Another town another bed, another thing to go
By now I learned to take it cool, but I don't wanna know
My head is empty, all the stories that I've known I've told
The situation I escaped from, now it looks like gold
Anyway and anyhow we did it, it was good
But now I take the time to think 'bout everything I should
'Cause after this I'm gone, the show is done
No other town or bed that lies ahead
I'll go home to what I know
I'll go home, home to you
By the time that you think 'bout it twice no spotlight makes you stay
By the time that you feel you don't know, you have to go
The plane is ready in my head, so many things to do
A few more hours till it's over I reach out for you
A kind of peace inside is growing, thinking 'bout the shows
Caught out in the pourin' rain deep within my soul
live a life of torture and pain will it ever end? Will it ever end
Cold dark world seek my fortune what is right for you and me?
All these years turn and run away from what was meant to be
Take me far away, across the Seven Seas
we'll sail to yesterday, our burning hearts set free
Goin' Home, we've made some choices in our life time to make it right
goin' home so many choices in our life time to make it right
You said to me make this love last forever and a day
until you die in my arms nothing could ever separate
Take me far away, across the Seven Seas
we'll sail to yesterday, our burning hearts set free
Goin' Home, we've made some choices in our life time to make it right
goin' home so many choices in our life time to make it right
Divin' through the night through the stormy weather
make it last forever and a day
Goin' Home, we've made some choices in our life time to make it right
(Go on home you don't belong here with me)
You're watching your watch and I know what's on your mind
There's someone home waiting and you're away over time
What should be so right is wrong as can be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
I love you I love you I love only you
But the one home waiting honey he loves you too
He's watching and wondering where can you be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Go on home you don't belong here with me
Though I want you and I need you desperately
But to hide in the darkness is wrong as can be
Go on home you don't belong here with me
I'm a track star, gotta run far
And I'm ready to go
It's a long, long road
And I gotta make it on my own
Everybody's gainin' on me
Tryin' to slow me down
But if I'm gonna make it
Gotta fight, fight, fight all day
And night and day all right
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
If it takes me the rest of my life
I'm a space man, from a different land
I gotta get back home
I've been gone so long
That I'm feelin' like a useless man
Everybody's lookin' at me
Tyrin' to help me down
I gotta fight, fight, fight
Even though it takes another day
And night, and day, all right
Oh me, why, why
Is it either win or lose
Somehow, someday
I'll never ever have to go away
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
It it takes the rest of my life
Don't take it too easy
Don't take it too easy
Don't take it too easy
separate them confrontate them
You could laugh but please dont hate them
Let them grow up let them stay
dont let shadows stand in your way
and all the things they have done
sentence for everyone
and they all will fall as one
So stand next to me How can they ever be
What you are
So go now just walk away
Just leave them here to stay
So go now and let them be
Come join this side with me
Dont feel anger dont feel shame
In the end they'll burn in your name
Stand beside them in the wind
they are dust that clings to your skinn
If all what they say is true
I wouldn't care for you
But that is all I do
So hold on to me They are not what you will be
So go now just walk away
Just leave them here to stay
So go now and let them be
Come join this side with me
So go now just walk away
Just leave them here to stay
For all what they've done
Go now
For all what they've done
For all what they are
Go now
When the time you lost is yours
and when you claim it all by force
Thats when you stand up straight
Thats when you stand up straight
For the pain they caused before
That gave you so much more
That is when you stand up straight
So breath so live judgement is not yours to give
So join this side with me and let them fall as one
In the places that you said you'd meet me
I don't see you hanging around
If that's all you ever tell me
Seems you don't wanna be found
I'm goin' home
Don't come over
I can't get lower
No more meetin'
I been beaten
Got a blast of what I should be
Busy doing, yes, I'm lost
I want to tell you that I miss you
But I'm pissed you blew me off
I'm goin' home
No more meetin'
I been beaten
I can't take it
Go and shake it
I breath all alone for you
I need and you know it's true
By the pound the tension's mountin'
Wrapped around me feelin' tight
If you're castin' out some psycho
You'll need me, tantrum I won't bite
On a day that's burnin' this crazed
Don't tempt me 'cause I might
But if it's gonna be the last time
Well then maybe it's alright
I'm goin' home
It's inside
May go ahead fight it
I've about had it
Go ahead grab it
I can't take it
Go ahead fake it
I breath all alone for you
I need and you know it's true
I breath all alone for you
I need nothin', I can do
People tell me that you miss me
Goin' Home
I'm going home
I'm goin' home
I'm gonna see my friend
That I left behind
I miss you babe
And maybe
You miss me too
Things go wrong
There ain't nothing
You can do
Oh the silver moon
Is a hanging low
It's a sad old world
And the leaves are falling
Caught a Greyhound in west L.A.
Got a heavy load nothin more to say
Oh, I'm goin' home
I climbed the mountain and touched the sun
I played the role but you know I ain't the one
Oh, I'm goin' home
Broke down east of nowhere, I felt the darkness come down on me
But there's a place where I can go, I'll never be alone
Oh, I'm goin' home
I've been around, seen some things
I ran with outlaws, I laid down with queens
Oh, I'm goin' home
They took me out, they took the best of me
I wanna see that river, Lord I wanna be free
Oh, I'm goin' home
Broke down east of nowhere, I felt the darkness come down on me
But there's a place where I can go, I'll never be alone
Oh, I'm goin' home
So ask yourself where the wind begins
But I've seen salvation rollin' down east I10
They drop me off outside the Central Trust, I can feel the sunshine
and I can taste the main street dust
Oh, I'm goin' home
Broke down east of nowhere, I felt the darkness come down on me
But there's a place where I can go, I'll never be alone
Oh, I'm goin' home
Caught a greyhound bus to west L.A.
same ol' sirens on the west side
same ol' troubles right down town
you tried to hold me like no tomorrow
you tried to keep me on your mind
I still hear the mornin' thunder
I still see you through a window
oh Lord it's gettin' colder tonight
oh Lord summer's 'bout all gone
right behind you is my suitcase
follow me boy we're goin' home
why can't you open up your eyes
it don't matter 'bout my size
I can't figure out nothin'
I can't figure out what to say
oh Lord it's gettin' colder tonight
oh Lord summer's 'bout all gone
right behind you is my suitcase
follow me boy we're goin' home
chorus
goin' home
chorus
Ive spent too long away from home
Did all the things I could have done
Gone are the days of endless thrills
I know Im not the only one
So long, Im goin, goin home
I saw the streets all ripe with jewels
Balconies and the laundry lines
They tried to make me welcome there
But their streets did not feel like mine
So long, Im goin, goin home
I want the sun to hit my face
Through oak trees in the open lot
Forget about the things you want
Be thankful for what all you got
Wish I could find, another way to say goodbye You know we have been livin’ out a lie There ain’t nothing I can do Now show me whatever you do Can he ever be a friend of mine It’s all from lovin’ you
Go on home, go on home Leave me alone Go on home, go on home Oh honey love is blown
Our lies rebound We gotta pay now it’s all gone And though I hate to leave you all alone While he’s waitin’ darling please Tell me, so long It had to be now set me free How could we go wrong
If ever you should find me All alone, go on go Afraid of the light now, I’m tryin’ to hide Our wrong We could never, ever tell right from wrong Oh no no Try to believe me It always would grieve me to go on
Going home, going home
I am going home
Quiet like, some still day
I am going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Never fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting too
Lots of faces gathered there
All the friends I knew
I'm just going home
No more fear, no more pain
No more stumbling by the way
No more longing for the day
Going to run no more
Morning star light the way
Restless dreams all gone
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just living on
Wide awake, with a smile
Going on and on, going on and on
Going home, going home
I am going home
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life has begun
i can't sleep, with all the city awake
everything in L.A is the same everyday
and every night, i can't stay strong,
gotta give myself a break, oh oh oh oh
chorus:

sigh, and i can't do it, right now, oh oh oh
repeat chorus
just give me a small explanation, for why this
is takin so much out of me, yeah oh oh oh oh
hey, i wish that i could settle down, tonight
repeat chorus 3x
two places matter to me, but which one will i
