Well if he don't leave now
Won't be goin' nowhere
Well home is where the heart is

I won't be goin' nowhere, nowhere
Goin' home
He's goin' home (yeah, yeah, yeah)

And if I don't leave now, I won't be goin' nowhere

So now, hurry up Mister Man
Load just as fast as you can
The plane is already late

I wanted to take a bus

I started to take a train but a freight was all they had
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home

But walkin' is too slow
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
I'm going home to see my baby, I'm going home
I'm gonna take her in my arms
I'm gonna hold her all night long
I've had my troubles and i've had my trials, sometimes i wondered if
I would make it one more mile but he left a promise and i believe oh
why should i worry with the sinful world im getting ready to leave.
Ch-He's coming back, and i'm going home, soon im gonna see the
Face of the one ive waited for so long one of these mornings you look
for me and ill be gone, cause hes coming back, and im going home.
2- The coming of jesus would not be so dear, if i knew that when he
came back i would have to stay down here oh but he is preparing a
mansion just for me and i am gonna live in that heavenly home through
out eternity
repeat ch2x
I'm going home
There I am there in my bedrrom
I'm safe and I'm snug and shoring
And so glad to be there
I'm going home
None of this ever happened
But God, I relly did it
Still nothing has changed
I'm going home
I'm going home
To my own room to all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good I don't care
I'm just so glad to be back home
Sweet home
I wonder if anyone missed me
Or have I been gone so long
They thought that I'd died
How many said I wonder what happened to Alice
How many shrugged or laughed
How many cried
But I don't give a damn
'Cuz I'm going home
I'm going home
To my own room to all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good I don't care
I'm just so glad to be back home
I'm going home

Inside
I feel so good inside
Touch me one more time
Come on little girl
You may look sweet
But I know you ain't
I know you ain't
I can really get a number
I can really get a folk
I can even get to titherland
But I wouldn't know the score
So before I go home
Well I'm talking like a little boy
I have nothing more to say
Except that when I feel like a girl
But I don't what to play
So I'm going home boys
I'm going to be good
I'm going to tell them other boys
That I rather think I should
That I rather think I should
I talk with to them like a
And need a cup of tea
And she's like company
So I'm talking to you
Tell me why I don't know
I dont know
I'm going home to cry
I'm talking like I wanted to
And I have to let through
I don't have to tell when to cook
I don't have to say I do
I only know that when I'm tired
Well I'm talking like a little boy
I don't have to tell you this
Well I'm leaving in the morning
And I'm going with the miss
Could have been a little lighter
A little of a dream
It's late t night and I can see you're tense
when we both get off the bus
it's a fucking shame we have to be raised to fear and mistrust
strangers to you dangerous to you but it's necessary
they say you look at me with fear in your eyes
and I look the other way
I'm just going home I've had a long day
I'll leave you alone I'll stay out of your way
I'm just going home
is it the way I look or just cause I'm a man
it would be easier to take if I don't understand
why you need to worry
there's a lot of creeps out there
what can I say to show you that this time
you don't have to be scared
try to say something it's all I can do
to yell "don't be afraid of me I'm not following you"
I cross the street look the other way
but I still can't claim your fright
Well now that I'm leaving,
Well now that I'm going home,
It's hard for me to believe in,
All those words now that I'm all alone.
I'm going home, I'm going home
There were times when I had me shaking,
Oh times like I have never known,
Oh you know that I was mistaken,
'Cos you see my ego was overgrown.
I'm going home, I'm going home
I'm going home were I can find it,
To a place that I have seen,
It's a place that's been on my mind,
It seems I've been there before,
I know where I've been,
But maybe I've only seen it in my dreams.
There ain't no reason in my life,
But Lord, there's an answer,
There ain't no reason in my life,
There must be an answer.
I'm going home, I'm going home
Dazed but still on reflection,
Oh I guess that I was born to roam,
So amazed that my recollection
I know that where I'll be will be my home.
I'm going home, I'm going home
There ain't no reason in my life, life, I'm going home
Lord there ain't no reason in my life, life, there's an answer
Midnight dreamer don't understand,
Restless sleeper ain't got no plans,
Ain't no reasons but there's a way
There's an answer find it today.
I'm going home, I'm going home
I’m going home (I’m going home)

Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
I'm going homeNothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home

I love to speak with Leonard
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
He's a lazy bastard
Living in a suit
But he does say what I tell him
Even though it isn't welcome
He will never have the freedom
To refuse
He will speak these words of wisdom
Like a sage, a man of vision
Though he knows he's really nothing
But the brief elaboration of a tube
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
To where it's better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
He wants to write a love song
An anthem of forgiving
A manual for living with defeat
A cry above the suffering
A sacrifice recovering
But that isn't what I want him to complete
I want to make him certain
That he doesn't have a burden
That he doesn't need a vision
That he only has permission
To do my instant bidding
That is to SAY what I have told him
To repeat
Going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where it's better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without the costume
That I wore
I love to speak with Leonard
He's a sportsman and a shepherd
He's a lazy bastard
VAUGHN MONROE AND HIS ORCHESTRA
VOCAL BY VAUGHN MONROE
ORCHESTRA PLAYS THE SONG. THEN;
THIS ROAD LEADS TO RAINBOWVILLE,
GOING MY WAY?
UP AHEAD IS BLUEBIRD HILL,
GOING MY WAY?
JUST PACK A BASKET FULL OF WISHES
AND OFF YOU START,
WITH SUNDAY MORNING IN YOUR HEART.
ROUND THE BEND YOU'LL SEE A SIGN,
'DREAMER'S HIGHWAY'.
HAPPINESS IS DOWN THE LINE,
GOING MY WAY?
THE SMILES YOU GATHER WILL
LOOK WELL ON YOU,
OH I HOPE YOU'RE GOING MY WAY TOO
This is a World War I song. World War I fascinates me because it was such a shock to the world. Nothing before or since has come close. It was a horrible, horrible event. It was modern weaponry and cavalry and then tanks. They fought for four years over a hundred yards, some ridiculously small amount of ground. It's the stupidest event in history. This is one of those songs that I just can't sing - it's right in one of the cracks in my range. So we did it to approximate what a recording of that era would sound like. I know Mitchell's going to get blamed in some review for using all these effects, but we did it because I simply can't sing the thing.
The sky grows black as the earth stands still
And clouds roll back when the Son is revealed
I see Jesus, coming in the Eastern sky to bring His children home
I see Jesus, coming in the Eastern sky I'm going home.
Cars collide and people die, planes fall from the sky
I'm like the baddest rapper ever
Ever ever? ever!
I always been it like I stood next to uncle Fester
Swisher house professor taught y'all how to be successful
Used to run a house like Rev and Diggy and Vanessa
Yes I got a stretcher that's for competition
Not in my position they ain't got a pot to piss in
You can call it dissin' they stay broke like it's tradition
Fly over the hood (man you must think you) Blake Griffin
Finger itching I got riching
My mother say she loving it
She took a million it took a year til I discovered it
I took my money out and I almost shut down the government
I threw it in the tub and let my main chick rubber dubbing it
The passcode on my bank account is catch me if you can
I know they gay just undercover like they with the clan
Don't throw a rock and later say that you my biggest fan
Remove the mic right now so it don't break and beat you with this stand
Your girl be calling me like everytime she grab a phone
I never hear 'em all her messages be rather long
These losers copying too much and you can't say I'm wrong
Wiz Khalifa hit the joint, now everybody cheech ching chong
A sign that's on my door that say no man but me allowed
Might see your woman drying off in here without a towel
Don't get confused just cause the twitter picture got a smile
... post where you at and I'll come show up now
After I beat you down, twitpic and retweet this clown
I bet in person all these talkers ain't gon' leak a sound
I travel everywhere how come your boys don't be around
Take trips where y'all be missing y'all must live in lost and found
Rap game's a female chat and all y'all do is disrespectful her
Can't really say you fresh cause all of y'all is whack except for
A few it's maybe two yeah most of y'all is pop as Ke$ha
I wanna grab a bottle and just turn your tap to ketchup
I teach 'em how to stunt, super dave done taught a lecture
See me 2012 and said you fresh as when I met ya
I'm in my robe and slippers walking round like I'm hugh heffner
I'm dressed in red your girl is black, jump on her like a checker
I can't do anything,
Until I see you home tonight.
I can't feel anything,
Until I see you home tonight.
I wanna be back in your arms
I'm so far away
I wanna feel your breath on my face
Seems like eternity
Going home
Going home
Going home
On our way back home
Going home
Going home
Going home
On our way back home
I can't write anything,
Until I see you home tonight
I can't call anyone
Until I see you home tonight
I wanna be back in LA
Let's not start again
I wanna be back with my friends
Seems like eternity
Going home
Going home
Going home
On our way back home
Going home
Going home
Going home
It's so late now
Where's that spark?
Help us out we're in the dark
Institute of correction
Point us in the right direction
I lost in a foreign land
Burning on the desert sand
We hitched a lift
On a camel train
Now we're heading for the rain
Wherever you go
We go a stray
Won't somebody show us the way
When the right road has been found

i'm going all the way to miami
I? ve been feeling kind of restless
I? ve been feeling out of place
I can hear a distant singing
A song that I can? t write
And it echoes of what I? m always trying to say
There? s a feeling, I can? t capture
It? s always just a prayer away
I want to know the ending
Things hoped for but not seen
But I guess that? s the point of hoping anyway
Of going home, I? ll meet you at the table
Going home, I? ll meet you in the air
And you are never too young to think about it
Oh oh, I cannot wait to be home
I? m confined by my senses
To really know what you are like
You are more than I can fathom
And more than I can guess
And more than I can see with you in sight
But I have felt you with my spirit
I have felt you fill this room
And this is just an invitation
Just a sample of the whole
And I cannot wait to be going home
Going home, I? ll meet you at the table
Going home, I? ll meet you in the air
And you are never too young to think about it
Oh oh, I cannot wait to be going, to be going home
Face to face, how can it be?
Face to face, how can it be?
Face to face, how can it be?
'Cause this is just an invitation
Just a sample of the whole
In time gone by, I lost my will
To try and find a clear way through
Now, it's been a while
Since I asked myself what to do
It's been a while since I played the fool
Cos they said "raise your game, leave the shame
in this place where you will remain
unless you save your soul"
Now it's going my way
Forget the time that I did then
Now it's going my way
I look and everything's OK
I've got nothing much to say except
The life that I now lead
Is going my way
Going my way
It's been a while since I spent the day
The whole day wrapped up in my dreams
It took a while upstaging misery
It isn't all it seems
Now I smooth my hair, feeling tight
I'm getting into something right
Living beyond those days
I don't understand how it came to
(How it came to)
I don't understand those depths of despair
(Those despairs)
I don't understand how it came to
(How it came to)
I don't understand reaching that despair
(Reaching that despair)
Cos I've settles my mind
I saw the world through the lens of a pinhole camera
I saw nothing
I was..blind
In-between a black hole and a supernova is where you'll find me
Imploding and expanding simultaneously
No longer mind
I've been running away for so long
when I finally caught myself, there wasn't much left
the scripts last page is blank
and the medicine..is gone
A sick bastard, a twister of dark matter
On a heavier trip than you can comprehend
A tornado, trying to mend the life thats shattered
Waiting for nothing, to begin
A flat-line my insides are turning out
King me is killing me x2
I keep walking past the places I was born in
Now the faces are blank shiny and dead
I don't recognize a thing I can't recall them
A closed book, that I can never, never read again
A flat-line my insides are turning out
Now the lights fade, this part of war starts now
King me is killing me x4
Killing me
All of that is ending now for I have arisen
Survive myself somehow (today in prison)?
I'm trying to live desire to see the day
I swear I'll never sleep again I am no mans slave
I (wanted)? the fog to lift
But i was living in a cloud
Nostalgia is grinding the life from today
The present always dies and future memories
And king me IS killing me
Cut wide open and bleeding to death for all to see
King me is killing me x4
He's killing me
No, no, you won't kill me
No, I won't let you kill me
Alright
Whenever I think about the life I used to live by
I wonder when I'm gonna get back
It seems a long time since I moved into the city
Gotta get away from all that
I'm going home, yeah
I'm going home
I can see the fire glow reflected on the wall
Feel the backdrop looking down the empty hall
Knew that I was born to live with it all, live with it all
Well, I'm roaming around in no particular direction
Just wearin' the shoes off my feet
Lookin' for somewhere I'm never gonna find here
[Incomprehensible] street
I'm going home, yeah
I'm going home
I can feel the fire glow reflected on the wall
Feel the backdrop looking down the empty hall
Knew that I was born to live with it all, hey yeah
I'm going home, yeah
I'm going home
I can feel the fire glow reflected on the wall
Feel the backdrop looking down the empty hall
Knew that I was born to live with it all, live with it all
Whoa, I'm coming home, girl
Whoa, I'm coming home, girl
Whoa, I'm coming home, girl
Whoa, I'm coming home, girl
Whoa, I'm coming home, girl
It's so late now
Where's that spark?
Help us out we're in the dark

Now we're heading for the rain
Wherever you go
We go a stray
Won't somebody show us the way
When the right road has been found
We will be homeward bound
i've seen her face
in those scented magazines
all is forgivin'
i love her still
and we're home, home
goin' home
the chrysler building
was talkin' to the empire state
the twin towers
were talkin' to each other
sayin' all is forgivin'
i love you still
and we're home, home
goin' home
what she saw in him
nobody knew
it's a mystery
what she saw in him
nobody could tell
now it's history
all is forgivin'
i love her still
and we're home, home
goin' home
and we're home, home
goin' home
and we're home, home
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
I'm going home
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home
Here it comes again at 3 am
that empty space it just takes my breath away
walk outside its the strangest thing
snow has fallen radiates
i dont know but ive been told
all i know is what i see had such a sweet dream
it end in disaster
and somehow you could not find your way back through the door
im seeing the car crash
the end of the love song and eve now i cant make it back
wehre you are
im going home new york citys become a friend to me
and every street helps to wash out clean my memory
all of the faces they hide the light
i feel that change but the change passes me by
i dont know but ive been told
all i know is waht i see had such a sweet dream
it end in disaster and somehow i could not find my way back through the door
i follow the side walks and all of you footprints
but somehow i could not make it back to wehre you are
Everybody needs a hand to hold on
and a deal to get sold on
There's a mad man loose without a doubt
and he's calling you out
Yeah he's calling you
Come on in, its cold outside
and we've got room for more
Shut the door
going home
going home
going home
Everybody wants to kill their brother
Put the blame on another
Wake up, wake up this house is on fire
and we're down to the wire,
Yes we're down to it
Come on it it's cold outside
And we've got room for more
Shut the door
going home
going home
Not very often have we met
But the music's been too bad
Can only sense happiness
if the music is sad
So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
Where a life goes on
We're too old to make a mess
Dreams will keep me young
Old enough to stress
Only mirrors tell the time
So, I'm going home
I must hurry home
So will my life go on
Yes, I'm going home
Going home alone
Go to sleep, you weary princess, let the miles roll you away
Out to this place on the prairie, where we’ve reached the end of day
You’re going home, close your eyes, you’re going home
Don’t you worry, I’m right beside you, you can dream a peaceful dream
This road is long, but I don’t worry, because you cause my heart to sing
Close your eyes, you’re going home, close your eyes
You may wake up and find me, driving with a teardrop in my eye
It’s from the happiness inside me, the reason why is you and I
Go to sleep, you precious angel, night has fallen, day is gone
Your brown eyes will sparkle in the sunrise, they will dance beside the dawn
Close your eyes, you’re going home, close your eyes
Going home going home
I am going home
Quiet light, 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 lights 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 home Going home
I am going home
shadows gone break of day
real life has begun
Wake up, crossed another state line
Fed up, a hundred million miles to drive
Yeah
I hope you'll be waitin' at the door
With open arms like you did before
So carry me through
You know I was born to roam
I need you to help me along
And I'm driving all night
Going home
Tell me, tell me that you'll always be true
Keep me going, tell me what to do
To get back to you
You know I was born to roam
I need you to help me along
And I'm driving all night
Going home, where to go
Where the whole thing started
And you know
Going back won't be fun forever
As you go, hasn't been forever
Going home, leaving home forever
Face the door start to crawl
Like you were a baby
Going home to a home you left
And vowed you'd never be
Going home, this was for someone else
Time to go, you can't stay here any more
Find some things from the past
That you thought were missing
Pack them up as you go back
To the life you're leading now
Going home, I can't stay forever
Got to go, back to where I came from
I don't know where to go
With so few possessions
They stay home as I go back
It should feel so good
It should be so right
Going home again
To find the years that shaped my life
But shadows line the streets
They whisper endlessly
And all I see are ghosts
Of my most painful memories
Going home, going home
Lord someday I'm going home
To a place where I know I belong
Where the ghosts and the fears
And the shadows disappear
Oh His angels bare us there
Going home
If somewhere in the night
You see a distant light
Lifting up my soul
To meet the God who gave us life
Mama don't you cry
Children don't you weep
For all the ghosts have vanquished
And my journey is complete
Oh going home, going home
Lord someday I'm going home
To a place where I know I belong
Where the ghosts and the fears
And the shadows disappear
Oh his angels bear us there
Driving through the wind and rain
Got my baby beside me too
Baby, we're going home
Just me and you
I don't mind the drizzling rain
Inside it is warm and dry
Hey baby, we're going home
I'll kiss the blues bye-bye
See the raindrops dance on the highway
a million starlights bright
Baby, we've got to keep on trucking,
Trucking tonight
There's a truck stop sign up ahead
Glistening in the rain
Maybe we could stop a little while
Then back on the road again
So lay back your pretty little head
And dream the night away
Dream of a snow white pillow
And a great big feather bed
Driving through the wind and rain
Got my baby beside me too
Hey, baby, we're going home
You promised that we'd stick together like glue
With me you'd even take a trip to the moon
I can't understand how a man makes such plans
Then dances the dance to a totally different tune
I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
You just can't keep me down
I'm going my way, no matter what you say
It's about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Oh I'm going my way, better listen what I say
It's all about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Well I might have fallen but I tell you darling
That soon I'll be back on my feet
I sorted you out boy the bail's in your court now
Go find a way to make it up to me
I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
You just can't keep me down
I'm going my way, no matter what you say
It's about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Oh I'm going my way, better listen what I say
It's all about me baby come what may I'm going my way
I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
I'll go my own way, you can't keep me down
I might be wrong but I'll keep holding on
Oh and try all my best, baby, I'm here to stay
Cause I'm going my way
I'm going my way, no matter what you say
It's about me baby come what may I'm going my way
Oh I'm going my way, better listen what I say
It's all about me baby come what may I'm going my way
I'm out on my own now but I'll make it somehow
I'll go my own way, you can't keep me down
I might be wrong but I'll keep holding on
Oh and try all my best, baby, I'm here to stay
No man should see what these eyes have seen
The mess that I've cleaned
The people so green
Things that were said
Went straight to your head
Evil will show
You know how it's grown
With blood on the path
We will not do the math
We don't care
Oh
So it is told that the air will be cold over there
Please take good care
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
His majesty sleeps high in the trees
Sends his palms spinning
From west to the east
Begging him please
To see how it feels
This wasn't agreed on
When they sign the deal
With blood on her path
We will not do the math
We don't care
Oh
So it is told that the air will be cold over there
Please take good care
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
No man should see what these eyes have seen
The mess that I've cleaned
The people so green
Things that were said
Went straight to your head
Evil will show
With blood on her path
We will not do the math
We don't care
Oh
So it is told that the air will be cold over there
Please take good care
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Finally rest these old bones
Home
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Oh yeah
Bad luck and trouble
Always following me
Black rain was falling
That's all I could see, ooh yeah
I used to think that the dream was reality, yeah
Those days are gone now
I'm where I wanna be, I wanna be
No more mountains to climb
No more runnin' down the lost highway
I found my place in time
The sun is shining on me, everyday
It is going my way, yeah
Falling from grace
How did I let myself go, oh yeah
Tell me, what did it take, oh
For me to know, for me to know
I used to think that the dream was reality, oh yeah
Those days are gone now
I'm where I wanna be, I wanna be
No more mountains to climb
No more runnin' down the lost highway
I found my place in time
The sun is shining on me, everyday
Oh, my way
Oh, no more mountains to climb
No more runnin' down the lost highway
I found my place in time
The sun is shining on me, yeah yeah
No more mountains to climb
No more runnin' down the lost highway
I found my place in time
The sun is shining on me, everyday
Everyday, it's all going my way, yeah yeah
Going my way, yeah baby
They said good-bye to all their friends
And left their humble homes behind
They'd heard about a chance up north
Amidst the noise and dirt and fire
And on the way they prayed to God
"Have mercy send us down a light"
And when the babies cried they told them close
"Mi hijo (my son) everything is alright"
Going home
On the wings of angels
Going home
On the wings of a snow white dove
Going home
On the wings of angels
Going home
On the wings of love
One walked his way around the town
The other took the name of Rose
They both never had much wealth
But each one knew how a flower grows
And they spoke a language in new ways
And raised their familes true to heart
Their blood runs through my veins so deep
I know they could never tear us apart
Yeah, they broke their backs just trying to stake a place
That they could call their own
And as we lay them down to sleep
I can't hear it play fast no more
Pace is proxy for my patience
Keep our eyelids at half-mast
Watch our friends wander through
And king me, baby
King me, baby
I'm no fan of you most of the time
I'd just as soon be alone, you know
In fact I'd rather be on my own
Waning in my own ebb
So king me, baby
Please king me, baby
King me, baby
King me, baby
Sometimes it's your smell what gets me ill
Sometimes it's your blushing laugh
When I [pull over] it curdles my blood
I figure you're just one big inherent mistake
Yes you have pulled my manhood into your corner
If I could get up enough strength, enough will
To pull to your side, I want you to reach into your reserves
Top me off, tide me over, make me a man
And king me, baby
Please king me, baby
King me, baby
Kick it around one more day
I'm coming home, we're on our way
Wasting time, now help me up
pat you down
Just keep the truck on moving bound
I'm dead
Moving west, Mississippi
It's times like this I wish you were with me
And it's the place where I might find
The one thing on my mind
And It's thats slow and constant ride
I'm going home
crash for the night
rise up at the first sign of light
find the place where we can be
and live life comfortably
and find the one thing on my mind
And it's a slow and constant ride
I'm going home
And it's a slow and constant ride
I pretend that I don't care
when you know that I do
cause every step that I retrace
always leads me back to you
so how can you say
that you want me to stay
as I board the plane
show me if you want it
if you feel it cause I know
that I'm somewhere in your soul
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason not to go
home
and this is something you don't know
truth is, I don't know myself
but all I know is when I'm with you
I don't want nobody else
so how can you say
that you want me to stay
as I board the plane
then show me if you want it
and you feel it cause I know
that I'm somewhere in your soul
give me a reason to love you
give me a reason not to go
and this might sound crazy
but I've loved you all along
so just humor my senses
as I sing this song
to you
and show me if you want it
and you feel it cause I know
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
Quiet light, some still day
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
Work all done, care laid by
Going to fear no more
Mother's there expecting me
Father's waiting, too
Lots of folk gathered there
All the friends I knew
All the friends I knew
I'm going home
Nothing's lost, all's gain
No more fret nor pain
No more stumbling on the way
No more longing for the day
Going to roam no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dream all done
Shadows gone, break of day
Real life begun
There's no break, there's no end
Just a living on
Wide awake with a smile
Going on and on
Going home, going home
I'm just going home
It's not far, just close by
Through an open door
I am going home
I'm just going home
Going home, going home
I see the faces on my picture one is you
I see the reasons why the picture just ain't true
I'm going home
I'm gonna be there one of these mornings
Gonna break away on the thirteenth of July
I'm going home (Going Home)
The dust collector keeps on banging at my door
Tales of the wild west, I can't mean it anymore
I'm going home
I'm gonna be there one of these mornings
Gonna break away on the thirteenth of July
I'm going home (Going Home)
And I'll be there one of these mornings
Walk down the road and there you are, yes I am
Maybe I'll see you if I can
Break away, from all of these memories
Walk down the road and there you are, yes I am
Maybe I'll see you if I can
I'm going home
I'm gonna be there one of these mornings
Gonna break away on the thirteenth of July
I'm going home
Many times in my in child hood when weve traveled so far
By nightfall how weary I'd grown
Fathers arms would slip around me and gently he'd say
My child were going home
Going home, I'm going home
There is nothing to hold me here
I've caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land
Praise God, I'm going home
Now the twilight is fading, the day soon shall end
Lord, I get homesick, the farther I roam
But the Father has led me each step of the way
And now I'm going home
Going home, I'm going home
There is nothing to hold me here
I've caught a glimpse of that Heavenly land
I’m going home to see my baby, I’m going home
Going home to see my baby, I’m going home
Gonna take her in my arms, gonna hold her all night long
I’m going home to see my baby, going home
Well hurry up Mr
Hurry up as fast as you can
The train is already late
I got to get home as quick as I can
How bad I I want to see my woman
Well I guess you’ll never know
Would start trying to walk, but walking is much too slow
I’m going home to see my baby, going home
Going home to see my baby, going home
Gonna take her in my arms, gonna hold her all night long
I’m going home to see my baby, going home
Well if there is something wrong, I want you to please let me know
Cuz my baby needs me, and I really, really must go
I started to take a bus, but they said the road was bad
Started to take a train but this train was all they had
I’m going home to see my baby, going home
I’m going home to see my baby, I’m going home
Gonna take her in my arms, I’m gonna hold her all night long
I’m going home to see my baby, going home
I’m going home, yes I’m going home
Many times in my in child hood when weve traveled so far
By nightfall how weary I'd grown
Fathers arms would slip around me and gently he'd say
My child were going home
Going home, I'm going home

Through an open door
I'm just going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
The right part this long ago
My mind’s meltin’ in the snow
I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
I’m a bum and I’m alone
My mind’s walkin’ death-row
I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
All the dead and all the gold
All the things I wanted home
I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
I’m leaving today, I’m going home
I have seen the scenery
But it still amuses me
