goin' home lyrics

Midnight on a southern highway, don't know if I'm going the right way
I haven't seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather, keeping 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
I've got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand, I'm drivin' fast as I can
And you said, you'd wait for me

Goin' home, 'cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home, going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home, going back where I left my family
Goin' home and I hope that they're still waitin' there for me

In the eyes of the legal tender, you're the one who must surrender
I think, they call it responsibility
I'm a man in motion with only one compulsion
I've got to follow these dreams inside my heart

I'm not looking for a fight, no one's wrong and no one's right
Maybe we all need time apart
So please, understand, I'm doin' the best that I can
And you said, you'd wait for me

Goin' home, 'cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home, going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home, going back where I left my sanity
Goin' home and I hope that it's still waitin' there for me

I thought you might understand
I'm drivin' fast as I can
And you said you'd wait for me

Goin' home, 'cause I've been away much too long
Goin' home, going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home, going back where I left my family
Goin' home and I hope that they're still waitin' there for me
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home, goin' home
