It's been so long since I've been gone
  Another day might be too long for me
  Traveling around I've had my fill
  Of broken dreams and dirty deals
  A concrete jungle surrounding me
  Many nights I've slept out in the streets
  I paid my dues and I changed my style
  Seen hard times. All over now
  
  I want to come home. It's been so long since I've been away
  And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried
  I'll be coming home soon to your love to stay
  
  I miss old friends that I once had
  Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I go home
  I don't know why the thought came to me
  But why I'm here I really can't see. And now...
  
  I want to come home. It's been so long since I've been away
  And please, don't blame me 'cause I've tried
  I'll be coming home soon to your love to stay
  Coming home to stay
  Coming home to your love, mama
  I've seen better days
