Going Home

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

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

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

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, yeah way too long

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, well way too long

Too long, yeah I'm going home

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
