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�
