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
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 Explain Request ×
