|
Many times I've been out on the cold lonely road |
|
My heart full of sorrow and pain |
|
And I sing an old familiar song of the place that I belong |
|
When my mind starts to think of home again |
|
Chorus: |
|
So many miles and so many roads |
|
And people who don't even know my name |
|
So many times I've looked to western skies |
|
Nowhere I go is quite the same |
|
As that sweet home waiting for me |
|
At the end of the day |
|
Now my feet grow tired and the wind, it grows wild |
|
And the road never seems to end |
|
And my mind, it races on from the sunrise (she is gone) |
|
Thoughts of old start to fill my head |
|
( Chorus ) |
|
And it's too much confusion, too many lies |
|
Too many times my heart has been broken right in two |
|
I've shed too many tears thinkin' about those times |
|
Cried too many rivers over you |
|
Well, the lights up ahead they mean that I am near |
|
I can smell the wood smoke in the air |
|
And when I go back out again (and I long to return to) |
|
My old home, I know she'll be there |
|
( Chorus ) |
