Goin' Home

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' as fast as I can
And you said you'd wait for me

[Chorus]
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 emotion
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]
Going home
Going home
Yeah, baby
