I've spent too long away from home Did all the things I could have done Gone are the days of endless thrills I know I'm not the only one So long, I'm goin', goin' home... I saw the streets all ripe with j**els Balconies and the laundry lines They tried to make me welcome there
But their streets did not feel like mine So long, I'm 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, I'm goin', goin' home...
