Well I'm a million miles away from home
And somehow it feels further
It's never been an easy road
It seems to be getting harder
I hear my mom is worried about me
I guess so is my father
So I'll lie and tell them I'm alright
When I decide to call her
You tell me that you miss me
But if you only knew
I don't think your heart could take
What I would put it through
Every couple days I break another
Promise made to you
And if I'm being honest
I kinda miss me too
So I'm headin' home
Yea I'm headin' home
The memories that you make
Will slowly start to flee
Life and death and taxes are
The only guarantees
Long story short the fact is
That I've finally come to see
That it's time to get my ass back to
Where I really oughta be
So I'm headin' home
Yeah I'm headin' home
Livin' in the moment that you're in
Is tough to get
It's easy to look forward to
What hasn't happened yet
Buried to my ears
In sorrows and regrets
While I'm the happiest in years
I just don't know it yet
Twenty eight long years
Are short to pass you by
As the apple of my eye
Began to sour till I was blind
Tried to mind my own
Yet trouble's all I'd find
Married to the good time
Never to my wife
She lifted up her anchor
Sailed her ship away
Nothing I can do or say
Nothing I can change
Both the tattoos I got for her
And my anger fade away
And as I travel towards home
Know I've always had it made
As I'm headin' home
Yeah I'm headin' home
Yeah I'm headin' home
Yeah I'm headin' home
I guess I'm just headin' home
