Lyrics
1) They say where to go, Baba
They tell me it?s so, Baba
Is it true what they say?
That you?re giving it away?
Is it true what they say, Baba?
2) I know what they mean, Baba
It happened to me, Baba
In the dark of the night
You joined in the fight
You saved me from falling
I heard you
Chorus:
And now life goes on
I?ve learned right from wrong
I hearing your call, I?m back from the fall
But, missing you so ? the heart of the show
I need to go back to my home
Going Home, Going Home
3) Yeah, that?s what I need
Some real home-spun feed
to top-off the tanks, Baba
I?m needing it so
But, I really don?t know
How long it will be ?til I see you
Chorus
Outro:
That?s what I need, all right
That would be good for me
Only you know when I?m gonna go
Oh, what am I going to do with you,?
You keep me hanging on
Is this what it?s like?
I love you anyway
Who wouldn?t?
