Going Home Songtext
von Keith Whitley

Well I gotta lotta friends on the West Coast
Lotta good memories
I want you to know that I won′t forget
Everything you done for me

But its been too long
Way too long
Too-too-too-too-too-too long
Yeah, I'm goin′ home

New York, Detroit and Chigaco
You all are something else
Treated me just like kinfolks
But I swear I can't help myself

Yeah, its been too long
Way, way too long
Too-too-too-too-too-too long
Yeah, I'm goin′ home


Well, I′m gonna write a letter
Gonna send a telegram
Tell everybody this wanderin' boy is packing his things right now
And I′m goin' home

There′ll be kickin', there′ll be signing, when I get home
Well my heart's done got heavy
Gonna load it in my old Chevy
And I'm goin′ home

When your soul is runnin′ dry, a country boy can tell
Cause only one way to quench your thirst
And that's drinking at the family well

It′s been too long
Way, way too long
Too-too-too-too-too-too long
Yeah, I'm goin′ 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, on the honky-tonks and bars

Yeah, its been too long
Way, way too long
Too-too-too-too-too-too long
Yeah, I'm goin′ home


Well, I'm gonna write a letter
Gonna send a telegram
Tell everybody this wanderin' boy is packing his things right now
I′m goin′ home

There'll be kickin′, there'll be signing, when I get home
Well my heart′s done got heavy
Gonna load it in my old Chevy
And I'm goin′ home
