Lyrics

[Verse 1] When I go home this summer, I done made up my mind Gonna do some things I wish I'd done back once upon a time Everybody in the whole place, they're gonna know my name I'll blow in like a hurricane then blow out just the same [Chorus] Paint scenes on the water-tower I got the paint and I got the power Do everything I wish I'd done back then Better late than never, they say Can't let the moment slip away I'm gonna finally take my chances When I go home again Whoo, hah [Verse 2] Call old Frankie Walker an' ask him if he might Meet me at the drag strip and he can eat my dust tonight I'm gonna look up Laura What's-her-name and I'll finally make it clear I studied every square inch of her legs, our junior year [Chorus] Paint scenes on the water-tower I got the paint an' I got the power Do everything I wish I'd done back then Better late than never, they say Can't let the moment slip away I'm gonna finally take my chances When I go home again Whoo [Bridge] Everybody's got some things they wish they'd said or done An' I'm gonna do my best to do 'em, every one [Verse 3] Gonna finally tell my Mamma about that Friday night I didn't trip or fall, I got that shiner in a fight And if I get my courage up, I might just spill the beans And tell her all the details 'bout the night I turned eighteen [Chorus] Paint scenes on the water-tower: I got the paint, I got the power Do everything I wish I'd done back then Better late than never, they say Can't let the moment slip away I'm gonna finally take my chances When I go home again All right When I go home again Whoo, oh it's good to be back home again
