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 
 So long, I'm goin', goin' home 
 So long, I'm goin', goin' home
