Lyrics
Going Home
(verse-)
I hear the, train whistle blowing, through an early morning rain...
I see the, street signs flashin, and feel an old familiar pain...
I'm headed out of Reno, I won't be back again...
Time after time it seems I ain't ever gonna win...
(chorus-)
And I'm goin' home...Going Home...
All alone....Goin' Home...I'm goin' Home.....
(verse-)
I've criss-crossed this country, and half of Vietnam...
I fought in the desert against a man they called Saddam...
I married me a woman and took her back to Alabam...
Now she's in Houston with no ring upon her hand...
(chorus)
And I'm goin' home...Goin' Home....All alone....
I'm goin' home.....Goin' home....
(bridge)
Now it's times like this, man it feels I'm cut right to the bone...
I'm hangin on to these two wheels....
(chorus)
And I'm goin' Home.....going Home....
(bridge)
(repeat Chorus out)
