Goin' back

had more than enough of the city lights
more than enough of them late, late nights
had my share of hot times
been left out in the cold
been coast to coast a hundred times
out workin' on the road

living in a suitcase, in fifty dollars beds
waited for the waitress with a bad pain in my head
been up and down and all around
now i'm goin' back where i belong

seems it's getting harder
when strangers tell me what to do and say
and i can't wait for that somethin'
to come and make my day
they want me here, they want me there
i don't care what they say

i'm goin'back, i'm goin' back now
i'm goin'back, i'm goin' back now
been runnin' round for too damn long
mama get ready 'cause baby i'm coming home

i've been rockin' after hours
in the dark back alley streets
had my taste of livin', both the bitter and the sweet
through blood, sweat and tears
through heat and rain, i've always paid my dues
had my fights with money makers
takin' everything
babe, it's getting too damn rough
that's it, i've had enough

i'm goin'back, i'm goin' back now
i'm goin'back, i'm goin' back now
been runnin' round for too damn long
mama get ready 'cause baby i'm coming home

i got ninety days, one to go, i'm almost there
gonna quit this carzy show, get me out of here
i'm goin' back, back where i belong
