Lyrics
Loosing the day to the darkness that fades to the moon
The Baker City show was a mess but we tore up the room
And then the camera-operator flipped out so we'll have to go without
He swore the Lord was talkin' to him, but I still have my doubts
I just wanna go home.
Took a flat in front of the Lincoln City Fuel-n-Feed
But undercover-Bob was the wrong guy to hit up for weed.
So I laughed and pretended I was givin' up- and the ran.
Caught up with the band another 2 days later, just this side of Tu-al-i-tan.
Now we're on our way back home
We're on our way back home
And it always seems to turn out differently than we had planned.
Drivin' across this state might take me forever
But I'll write a song that I might get to play on the road.
We're finally on our way home!
We're on our way back home
And it always seems to turn out differently than we had planned.
...but it always seems to turn out differently thatn we had planned
We're on our way back home.
