Midnight on a southern highway
Don't know if I'm goin' the right way
I haven't seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keepin' us from being together
How long has it been
Since I've seen your smile?
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
Well, I got a burnin' deep inside
Won't you please understand?
I'm drivin' fast as I can
Yes, I am on my way
Goin' home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home
Goin' back to the place
Where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Goin' back where I left my family
Goin' home
And I hope she's still waitin' for me, yeah
In the land of milk and honey
Gotta pay the man with money
I think they call it responsibility
Gotta try to stay in motion
Can't break for no promotion
I've got to follow the dreams
Inside my heart
I was lookin' for a fight
I was wrong and you were right
Maybe we all need time apart
I'm drivin' fast as I can
So hold out your hand
And, baby, we'll find a way
Goin' home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home
Goin' back to the place
Where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Goin' back where I left my sanity
Goin' home
(Goin' home)
And I hope she's still waitin' there for me
Yeah
I'm goin' home, I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home, yeah
I've been away much too long
I can't wait much longer, baby
I'm drivin' fast as I can
So hold out your hand
And we're gonna find a way
(I've got to find a way)
Goin' home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home
Goin' back to the place
Where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Goin' back where I left my family
Goin' home
(Goin' home)
And I hope she's still waitin' there for me
Yeah
(She's waitin' there, she's waitin' there for me)
Goin' home
(Goin' home, goin' home)
Goin' home
(Goin', goin' home)
Goin' home
(Go, goin' home, go, goin' home, yeah)
Goin', home
(Yeah, I'm goin' home)
Goin' home
(Goin' home)
Goin' home
(Goin' home)
(Hope she's still waitin' there for me, yeah)
