I have seen all I care to see Of this world it has no more for me I need the call for giving peace That only comes from my family
I wanna go home I wanna go home I'm following the lead of the setting sun And I'm going back where I came from
Like a old old tree, that no longer grows As time went by I got hollow If you don't know when to stay If you don't know when to go Then you might be building your own gallows
I wanna go home I wanna go home I'm following the lead of the setting sun And I'm going back where I came from
Mama is on the front porch waving for me My father got his hands fixing something My brother says that he just got to see my face
It's why I'm going on home I going home I'm following the lead of the setting sun And I'm going back where I came from
It's why I'm going home I'm going home I'm following the lead of the setting sun And I'm going back where I came from And I'm going back where I came from.
