Buffy Sainte-Marie - I'm Going Home Lyrics

Heaven isn't so far away as people say
I got a home high in my heart
Heaven is right where I come from
I never throw it away
I know the place and I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home

See up there it's not the same
They know your name
And I'm not ashamed to need it
I'm going home
I'm going home

You keep on a-knocking
I'm not coming out of this state I'm in
I'm traveling right, I'm gonna get there soon
I'm standing up praying
I'm singing, saying, "Hey-yo, ha-ha, hey-yo, ha, hey-ya"
I know the way and I'm going home

I'm going home
That's where the heart can rest
The best is there
And only a fool would leave it
I'm going home

I been around, I been to town
Hey, where you think I learned right from wrong?
I'm going home
I'm going home
