Folk and Traditional Song Lyrics:
Going Home 2
Going Home 2
Going Home 2
(Aiden Clark and Jerome Dicks)
Stuck in this old city
Where nothing seems the same
Living from day to day
Playing the city game
Tired of trying to make it
And life seems insane
I'm going back to where I came from
And I'll never leave home again
I'm going home, home, home
I'm going back home
The time has come and I have heard the call
I'm going home, home, home
I'm going back home
And I'll be there when the summer meets the fall
I left home, I thought
To find a better life
To find myself a job
Find myself a wife
As hard as I have looked
These things I haven't found
So now I'll take my sanity
And now I'm homeward bound
A man is often faced
With choices he must make
Of where to go and what to do
And what road should he take
I've come to my senses
This once and for all
I'm going back to my roots
And I'll be three in the fall
Come all of you young people
Who are about to leave home
Give hardy though I tell you
Before you start to roam
To what it is you're leaving
And where it it you're going
Don't move if you don't want to
'Cause you'll always end up home
