I`ve spent too long away from home
Did all the things i could have done
Gone are the days of endless thrills
I know i`m not the only one
So long i`m goin` goin` home
I saw the streets all ripe with jewels
Balconies and the laundry lines
They tried to make me welcome there
But their streets did not feel like mine
So long i`m goin` goin` home
I want the sun to hit my face
Through oak trees in the open lot
Forget about the things you want
Be thankful for what all you got
So long i`m goin` goin` home
