Goin´ Home



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 it burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
I´m drivin´ as 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 were I left my family
Goin´ home
And I hope that they´re still waitin´ 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
Maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
I´m doin´ 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 were I left my sanity
Goin´ home
And I hope that they´re still waitin´ there for me

INSTRUMENTAL

I thought you´d might understand
I´m drivin´ as 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 were I left my family
Goin´ home
And I hope that they´re still waitin´ there for me
Goin´ home
Goin´ home
Goin´ home
Goin´ home
