Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I have seen all I care to see
Of this world, it has no more for me
I need the call for giving peace
That only comes from my family
[Verse 2]
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I'm followin' the lead of the setting sun
And I'm goin' back where I came from
[Verse 3]
Like an old oak tree that no longer grows
As time went by, I got hollow
If you don't know when to stay
If you don't know when to go
Then you might be building your own gallows
[Verse 4]
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I'm followin' the lead of the setting sun
And I'm goin' back where I came from
[Verse 5]
Mama's on the front porch, wavin' for me
My father's got his hands fixin' something
My brother says that he just glad to see my face
[Verse 6]
It's why I'm goin' on home
I'm goin' home
I'm followin' the lead of the setting sun
And I'm goin' back where I came from
[Verse 7]
It's why I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
I'm followin' the lead of the setting sun
And I'm goin' back where I came from
And I'm goin' back where I came from
