I’m gonna take my foolish pride Get it on a southbound freight and let it ride I’m gonna go back to the loved ones The ones I left waiting so far behind] I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home [Can’t you hear me?] I wanna go home Whoa, baby I wanna go home Oh, how I wanna go home [Somebody help me] I wanna go home, yeah I wanna go home, whoa oh Oh, how I wanna go home FADE Hmm, I wanna go home Transcribed by Ronald E.
