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
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
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
