Lyrics
You drink one for your memories
You drink one for yourself
You drink one for your family
Last time you saw them was a long time ago
I sing one for the children
You sing one for the miles
You sing one for them pretty green eyes
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go
And sing me to sleep sweet city
And let your highway be your lullaby
With nothing in my pocket
No fortune do I know
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go
Well you say a little prayer in the morning
You pray for those you left behind
Your heart starts to break as the sun goes down
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go
Sing me to sleep little darling
And do that little dance for me
Nothing in my pocket
No fortune do I know
I'm headed home mama - I got a long way to go
I will be there by the morning
And I don't know what makes me leave anyway, anyway, anyway
And God I miss you little darling
And save that little dance for me
With nothing in my pocket
No fortunes do I know
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go
It's good to be home
It's good to be home
I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go
