lyrics

GOING HOME
By Kenneth E. Robertson

In the after-midnight morning, on a long drive from Chicago
I asked the Lord to help me write a simple little song
‘Cause the music in my iPod had been played back once too often
And the radio was a-wailin’ out a tune both sad and long
Then my mind drifts back to where I’d like to be
Where the sweet well water tastes so good to me

(Chorus)
GOING HOME, GOING HOME
Soon as I can put behind these weary miles
GOING HOME, GOING HOME
Where my mom will hug and kiss me
And the dog still begs for pettin’
And my dad’ll be there a-waitin’ with a smile.

In a house on two small acres, down a blacktop turned to gravel
Are my roots and all the memories I’ve learned to hold so near
‘Cause my life gets complicated when I try to fly with eagles
And I’m workin’ in the city when I’d rather be watchin’ deer
Then my mind goes back to where I’d like to be
Where the simple country cookin’s temptin’ me

Repeat Chorus

In a world where homes are broken and a kid’s life ain’t so happy
From the side effects a better life with chemistry can bring
I can never thank my parents for the memories that they gave me
And the dreams I wish for others now I try my best to sing
For the children have no memories of home
How they must feel so abandoned and alone

Repeat Chorus
