It's been so long since I've been gone
Another day here might be too long for me

I've travelled around and I've had my fill
Of broken dreams and dirty deals

A concrete jungle surrounding me
Many nights I've slept out in the streets

I paid my dues and I changed my style
Seen hard times ... over now

I want to come home

It's been so long since I've been away

And please ... don't blame me 'cause I've tried

I'll be comin' home soon to your love ... to stay

I miss old friends that I once had
Times ain't changed but I'll be glad when I ... go home

I don't know why the thought came to me
But why I'm here I really can't see

And now... oh, oh, now ... I want to come home

It's been so long since I've been away

And please ... don't blame me 'cause I've tried

I'll be comin' home soon to your love ... to stay

Uh-comin' home to stay

Uh-comin' home to your love, mama, I've seen better days

I miss old friends that I once had
Times ain't changed but I'll be glad when I ... go home

I don't know why the thought came to me
But why I'm here I really can't see

And now... oh, oh, now ... I want to come home
It's been so long since I've been away

And please ... don't blame me 'cause I've tried
I'll be comin' home soon to your love ... to stay

Uh-comin' home to stay

Uh-comin' home to your love, mama, I've seen better days
