| You drink one for your memories
|
| You drink one for yourself
|
| You drink one for your family
|
| Last time you saw them was a long time ago
|
| I sing one for the children
|
| You sing one for the miles
|
| You sing one for them pretty green eyes
|
| I’m headed home baby — I got a long way to go
|
| And sing me to sleep sweet city
|
| And let your highway be your lullaby
|
| With nothing in my pocket
|
| No fortune do I know
|
| I’m headed home baby — I got a long way to go
|
| Well you say a little prayer in the morning
|
| You pray for those you left behind
|
| Your heart starts to break as the sun goes down
|
| I’m headed home baby — I got a long way to go
|
| Sing me to sleep little darling
|
| And do that little dance for me
|
| Nothing in my pocket
|
| No fortune do I know
|
| I’m headed home mama — I got a long way to go
|
| I will be there by the morning
|
| And I don’t know what makes me leave anyway, anyway, anyway
|
| And God I miss you little darling
|
| And save that little dance for me
|
| With nothing in my pocket
|
| No fortunes do I know
|
| I’m headed home baby — I got a long way to go
|
| It’s good to be home
|
| It’s good to be home
|
| I’m headed home baby — I got a long way to go |
