I'm Goin' Home

Mama, please don't go

Won't you stay here for one more day?

I've been your boy for so long now

There's so much I, I still have to say

Sky rips open, and I held my heart in my hand

Like a soldier on his very last day

Cried myself to sleep that night

And I listened as I heard the angels sing

Sha-la-la

Sha-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la

I'm goin' home

Sha-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

I'm goin' home

Oh, something inside of me makes me scream

How could God take you from a little boy?

He'll be alright, he is by my side

He's not a little boy, he's my pride and joy

Sha-la-la-la-la

Sha-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la

I'm goin' home (Take me home)

Sha-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la

I'm goin' home (Make it ease on down)

Summer on the radio

When the phone rang and it was Jeanette

Said boy we had to let her go

I begged her no, no not yet

You left six of us to fend for ourselves

Guess it's just part of someone's master plan

We'll see you laugh, 'cause you're my best friend

You were the light of the lamb

And I smile when the angels sing

Sha-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la (No, no, no)

I'm goin' home (Take me home)

Sha-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la

I'm goin' home (Hear the angels sing, sha-la)

Sha-la-la-la

La-la-la-la (Sha-la-la, sha-la-la)

I'm goin' home (Go on and sing for me now)

Sha-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la)

La-la-la-la (Sha-la-la-la)

I'm goin' home (No, no)

No, no, mama

No no, mama

No no, no, no, no, no

Why, why, why, why, why?

Sha-la-la-la-la

I wish y'all would hear when I scream

Sha-la, sha-la-la-la-la, oh

Sha-la-la-la

La-la-la-la

See, all I ever wanted was her and me back when

Sha-la-la-la

La-la-la-la
