lyrics

See me walking quickly down the side of the road
Thumb in the air, I'm going home
Home is always where I want to be
Hopped a train in Tulsa bound for Oklahoma city
The girls in Texarkana sure as hell were pretty
I stayed for one dance then I was on my way

Going home, going home
To the only place I know
And I can feel the years between us sting
Going home, going home
Where I'll never be alone
Theres something here that makes me want to sing

So many dusty roads that I can't count
The dirt on my face and the sweat on my brow
You can tell another by that look on their face
Lost myself in bottles upwards of seven of years
Lost myself in middle-America's tears
She ain't coming back and neither am I

No, I'm going home, going home
To the only place I know
Blackened by the years I've been away
Going home, going home
Will I always ride alone?
There's nothing here that makes me want to stay

Philadelphia's cold and New York's full of shit
You can't catch a ride there, you're gonna get hit
I hate that game and the southwest is calling my name
I want to see the mountains and where I belong
I want to see the trees and step out of the smog
Don't want to be alone but I want to be my own man

So I'm going home, going home
To the only place I know
I know this is where I belong
Going home
It was you that I needed all along
