Lyrics
I?ll be home soon
Looks like I?m gonna be in for a long night;
I had a good run, but now my number?s due?
And I keep telling myself that it?s alright;
But I?ve got a sinking suspicion that may not be true.
And I don?t know if I can sum up the strength for a long fight;
Why?d it have to come now ? after all I?ve been through?
And no one but me can make the wrong right;
No one can help me figure out how to do what I?ve got to do?
And it seems hard enough to throw it all away but I can see the silver lining at the end?
And though right now it seems the world?s turned upside-down, I?ve got to hope that better times will come around ? not gonna stop and let the hard times drag me down? you know I?ll be home soon; And while I?m out and walking in the pouring rain, I know for certain that the sun will come again ? I keep on hoping that I see you soon my friend, you know I?ll be home soon.
Looks like I?m gonna be in for a slow day;
Just can?t seem to get up no matter how hard I try?
Everything in the world seems so lonely and so grey;
and it?s hard to think of a time when everything seemed alright.
And every time I meet a fork in the road I choose the wrong way;
My better judgment has failed time after time?
I?ve got a feeling I?ll be looking back laughing at it someday;
But right now it seems like the world just ain?t no friend of mine?
