Going Home

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well I got a lot of friends on the west coast A lot of good memories I want you to know that I won't forget Everything you've done for me But it's been too long, way too long T-t-t-t-t-too long, yeah I'm going home New York, Detroit, and Chicago, you are somethin' else Treated me just like kinfolks But I swear I can't help myself Yeah it's been too long, way way too long Too long, yeah I'm going home [Chorus] Well I'm gonna write a letter, gonna send a telegram Tell everybody that's wonderin' boy He's packin his things right now and I'm goin' home There'll be pickin', there'll be singin' when I get home Well my heart has done got heavy Gonna load it in my old Chevy And I'm goin' home [Verse 2] When your soul is a-runnin' dry, a country boy can tell There's only one way to quench your thirst And that's a-drinkin' at the family well Well it's been too long, way way too long T-t-t-t-t-too long, yeah I'm going home Well I need a night or two on the back porch Just there among the stars Gonna free my mind for a little while Of the honky tonks and bars Yeah it's been too long, way way too long T-t-t-t-t-too long, yeah I'm going home [Chorus] Well I'm gonna write a letter, gonna send a telegram Tell everybody that's wonderin' boy He's packin' his things right now and I'm goin' home There'll be pickin', there'll be singin' when I get home Well my heart has done got heavy Gonna load it in my old Chevy And I'm goin' home
