Going Home
Recorded by Keith Whitley
Written by Troy Seals and John Schneider

G
Well I got a lot of friends on the west coast

A lot of good memories

I want you to know that I won’t forget

Everything you’ve done for me
                  C     D7      G
But it’s been too long  way too long
          D7                  G
T-t-t-too long yeah I’m going home


New York Detroit and Chicago you are something else

Treated me just like kinfolks

But I swear I can’t help myself
                   C        D7      G
Yeah it’s been too long way way too long
          D7                  G
T-t-t-too long yeah I’m going home

     D7
Well I’m gonna write a letter gonna send a telegram

Tell everybody that’s wondering boy
                                                G
He's packing his things right now and I‘m going home
            C                                      G
There’ll be picking there’ll be singing when I get home
        D7
Well my heart has done got heavy
                                            G
Gonna load it in my old Chevy and I’m going home


When your soul is a-running dry a country boy can tell

There’s only one way to quench you’re thirst

And that’s a-drinking at the family well
                   C         D7      G
Well it’s been too long yeah way too long
          D7                  G
T-t-t-too long yeah I’m going home


Well I need a night or two on the back porch

Just there among the stars

Gonna free my mind for a little while

Of the honky tonks and bars
                   C         D7      G
Yeah it’s been too long well way too long
          D7                  G
T-t-t-too long yeah I’m going home
