Going Home - Keith Whitley

WELL I GOT A LOT OF FRIENDS ON THE WEST COAST

A LOT OF GOOD MEMORIES

I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I WONT FORGET

EVERYTHING YOUVE DONE FOR ME

BUT ITS BEEN TOO LONG, WAY TOO LONG

TOO LONG, YEAH IM GOING HOME

NEW YORK, DETROIT AND CHICAGO, YOU ARE SOMETHIN ELSE

TREATED ME JUST LIKE KINFOLKS

BUT I SWEAR I CANT HELP MYSELF

YEAH ITS BEEN TOO LONG, WAY WAY TOO LONG

TOO LONG, YEAH IM GOING HOME

WELL IM GONNA WRITE A LETTER, GONNA SEND A TELEGRAM

TELL EVERYBODY THATS WONDERIN BOY

HE’S PACKIN HIS THINGS RIGHT NOW AND IM GOIN HOME

THERELL BE PICKIN, THERELL BE SINGIN WHEN I GET HOME

WELL MY HEART HAS DONE GOT HEAVY

GONNA LOAD IT IN MY OLD CHEVY

AND IM GOIN HOME

WHEN YOUR SOUL IS A-RUNNIN DRY, A COUNTRY BOY CAN TELL

THERES ONLY ONE WAY TO QUENCH YOURE THIRST

AND THATS A-DRINKIN AT THE FAMILY WELL

WELL ITS BEEN TOO LONG, YEAH WAY TOO LONG

TOO LONG, YEAH IM GOING HOME

WELL I NEED A NIGHT OR TWO ON THE BACK PORCH

JUST THERE AMONG THE STARS

GONNA FREE MY MIND FOR A LITTLE WHILE

OF THE HONKY TONKS AND BARS

YEAH ITS BEEN TOO LONG, WELL WAY TOO LONG

TOO LONG, YEAH IM GOING HOME

WELL IM GONNA WRITE A LETTER, GONNA SEND A TELEGRAM

TELL EVERYBODY THATS WONDERIN BOY

HE’S PACKIN HIS THINGS RIGHT NOW AND IM GOIN HOME

THERELL BE PICKIN, THERELL BE SINGIN WHEN I GET HOME

WELL MY HEART HAS DONE GOT HEAVY

GONNA LOAD IT IN MY OLD CHEVY

AND IM GOIN HOME
