I’m going home
There I am there in my bedrrom
I’m safe and I’m snug and shoring
And so glad to be there
I’m going home
None of this ever happened
But God, I relly did it
Still nothing has changed
I’m going home
I’m going home
To my own room to all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good I don’t care
I’m just so glad to be back home
Sweet home
I wonder if anyone missed me
Or have I been gone so long
They thought that I’d died
How many said I wonder what happened to Alice
How many shrugged or laughed
How many cried
But I don’t give a damn
‘Cuz I’m going home
I’m going home
To my own room to all the mess
To all the dirty laundry
It looks so good I don’t care
I’m just so glad to be back home
I’m going home
Nothing can stop me now
