Goin' Home

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




So long, Im goin, goin home
