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.
