It's been too long since I was back home So far away I let my poor heart roam Oh, every day I breathe this air But every night I dream I was there Oh, I wish I was going home
There's a girl who's waiting there for me With a heart that yearns so tenderly Let me ride the midnight bus Oh, how I wish I was, oh, going home
Going home Leave a light on there for me Going home Oh, how I can't wait to be
So far away, I hear my baby call But all I can do is wait and wait, that's all Every day I breathe this air But every night I dream I was there Oh, how I wish I was going home
