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 wont forget
everything youve done for me
but its been too long, way too long
t-t-t-too long, yeah im going home

new york, detroit and chicago, you are all somethin else
treated me just like kinfolks
but i swear i cant help myself
yeah its been too long, way way too long
t-t-t-too long, yeah im 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 picking, there'll be singing when i get home
well my heart has done got heavy
gonna load it in my old chevy
and i'm goin home

instrumental

when your soul is a-runnin dry, a country boy can tell
there's only one way to quench youre thirst
and that's a-drinkin at the family well
well its been too long, yeah way too long
t-t-t-too long, yeah im 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 its been too long, well way too long
t-t-t-too long, yeah im 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

therell be pickin, therell be singin when i get home
well my heart has done got heavy
gonna load it in my old chevy
and im goin home
