    A                 D  
Ive spent too long away from home
                                A
Did all the things I could have done 
                     D
Gone are the days of endless thrills
                       A
I know Im not the only one
   E        D          A
So long, Im goin, goin home

  A                   D
I saw the streets all ripe with jewels
                          A
Balconies and the laundry lines
                      D
They tried to make me welcome there
                                    A
But their streets did not feel like mine
   E        D          A
So long, Im goin, goin home

  A               D
I want the sun to hit my face
                              A
Through oak trees in the open lot
                 D      
Forget about the things you want
                             A
Be thankful for what all you got
   E        D          A
So long, Im goin, goin home
