Lyrics
WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO HOME
1) WHEN I HEAD OUT ON THE HIGHWAY
AND I TAKE OFF DOWN THE ROAD
I SEE I'M FACED WITH A GREAT BIG WORLD, READY TO EXPLORE
I HAVE SO MANY THINGS I WANNA SEE,
I'M LIKE A KID IN A CANDY STORE
I COULD JUST STAY HERE FROM NOW ON
AND JUST KEEP SINGING MY SONGS
(Chorus)
I CAN HEAR THAT VOICE CALLING ME, ITS MESSAGE IS SO STRONG
THIS OL' HIGHWAY'S TELLING ME, WHEN IT'S TIME TO GO HOME
THEN IT'S TIME TO GO HOME
2) THE PICTURES IN MY SCHOOLBOOKS SEEMED SO FAR AWAY
THEY MADE ME WANT TO SEE THE WORLD
NOW I HAVE TO MAKE UP FOR LOST TIME
I HOPE I DIDN'T WAIT TOO LONG
I DON'T CARE WHAT'S GONE ON BEFORE
I WANNA SEE WHAT'S UP AROUND THE BEND
IF IT ENDED TODAY, I'VE HAD A GOOD RUN
BUT I'M NOT READY TO THROW THE TOWEL IN
(To Chorus)
3) ONCE I'M HOME I BEGIN TO SEE
THE IMPORTANT THINGS TO ME
SPENDING TIME WIOTH THE ONES I LOVE
AND OLD FAMILIAR FRIENDS
I'VE ENJOYED ALL THE THINGS I GOT TO SEE
AND ALL THE PLACES I'VE BEEN
BUT IT ALL COMES DOWN TO WHERE I BELONG
HOME SWEET HOME FOR ME IN THE END
