Lyrics Going Home - Keith Whitley

Well i got a lot of friends on the west coast
A lot of good memories
I want you to know that i wont forget
Everything youve done for me
But its been too long, way too long
T-t-t-too long, yeah im going home

New york, detroit and chicago, you are all somethin else
Treated me just like kinfolks
But i swear i cant help myself
Yeah its been too long, way way too long
T-t-t-too long, yeah im going home

Well i'm gonna write a letter, gonna send a telegram
Tell everybody that's wonderin boy
He's packin his things right now and i'm goin home

There'll be picking, there'll be singing when i get home
Well my heart has done got heavy
Gonna load it in my old chevy
And i'm goin home

Instrumental

When your soul is a-runnin dry, a country boy can tell
There's only one way to quench youre thirst
And that's a-drinkin at the family well
Well its been too long, yeah way too long
T-t-t-too long, yeah im going home

Well i need a night or two on the back porch
Just there among the stars
Gonna free my mind for a little while
Of the honky tonks and bars
Yeah its been too long, well way too long
T-t-t-too long, yeah im going home
Well i'm gonna write a letter, gonna send a telegram
Tell everybody that's wonderin boy
He's packin his things right now and i'm goin home

Therell be pickin, therell be singin when i get home
Well my heart has done got heavy
Gonna load it in my old chevy
And im goin home
