(Bobby Bare)

(I'm goin' home, I've been gone so doggone long
Now at last the rambling fever's gone
I'm goin' home, I know that mama'll cry with joy
To see her wanderin' boy, I'm goin' home.

I'm goin' home, I've lived in certain happiness
I hadn't met with very much success
I'm goin' home, I got holes in both my shoes
And a bad case of blues, I'm goin' home.

I'm goin' home, comin', walkin', ridin' when I can
I said I'd be a wealthy man, the things don't work out always ike you plan
I'm goin' home, then maybe back there with my friends
I'll lose this bitterness that burns within.

I'm goin' home, I got holes in both my shoes
And a bad case of blues, I'm goin' home...)
