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

Going home
Going home
Going home
