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 jewels. 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
