Goin' home, he's goin' home
He'll be leavin', leavin' here today
Well, if he don't leave now
Won't be goin' nowhere

Well, home is where the heart is
Then my home's in New Orleans
Take me to that land of dreams
Lord, and if I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere, nowhere

Goin' home
He's goin' home, yeah, yeah, yeah
He'll be leavin', leavin' here today
Well, if he don't go now
I won't be goin' nowhere

What you say and what you do
Well, it's times like that, then I'm tellin' you
Well, if you don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, Lord

And if I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere
If I don't leave now
I won't be goin' nowhere
Ooh, yeah
