I Wanna Go Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have wondered and gone
On land and on sea
Just sinkin'
My destiny

[Chorus]
But in searchin'
For my goal
I forgot my friends
And I forgot my home

[Post-Chorus]
Yes, I forgot my friends
Don't you know that
I forgot my home?

[Verse 2]
And now I'm so tired
With no place to go
I am forsaken
On the sea of woe

[Chorus]
I miss my friends
That never did me no wrong
And now I'm so tired
And I wanna go home
[Post-Chorus]
Yes, I've just gotta go home
Where I belong

[Bridge]
I left behind a little boy
After I broke his heart
Oh, what I'd give to hear him say
"Let's make new start"

[Verse 3]
Now, I'm go-woah-in' home
Yes, I'm on my way
And when I get there
Home I will stay

[Chorus]
'Cause I missed my friends
That never did me no wrong
And now I'm so tired
And I wanna go home

[Outro]
Yes, I've gotta go home
I wanna see everybody
I wanna see all my friends
That never did me no wrong
I left behind a little boy
I've just gotta go home
I wanna see all my friends (slide out)
And never did me no wrong

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
