I've made my peace with this highway
Done my time, tried to carry my weight
I've had some good friends beside me
But now is the hour and I can't be late...

(chorus)
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight...

They say you get what you pay for
But I'm here to tell you I think that they're wrong
'Cause I payed nothing for this sunset
Or the roll of this river and a high lonesome song...

(chorus)
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight...

(chorus)
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight...

And I'm on this ride till it closes
You take what's been dealt you
You play it on through
And all these beautiful diversions
As fine as they are
Just can't keep me from you...

(chorus)
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight
I'm going home tonight,
I'm going home tonight...
