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 driving 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 waiting 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  And maybe we all need time apart  So please understand   I'm doing 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 waiting there for me    [Instrumental break]    I though you might understand  I'm doing 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 family  Goin' Home  And I hope that they're still waiting there for me    Goin' Home  [Repeat until fade]
