Long Way to Go (Headed Home)

You drink one for your memories
You drink one for yourself
You drink one for your family
Last time you saw them was a long time ago

I sing one for the children
You sing one for the miles
You sing one for them pretty green eyes
I'm headed home baby, I got a long way to go

And sing me to sleep sweet city
And let your highway be your lullaby
With nothing in my pocket
No fortune do I know
I'm headed home baby, I got a long way to go

Well you say a little prayer in the morning
You pray for those you left behind
Your heart starts to break as the sun goes down
I'm headed home baby, I got a long way to go

Sing me to sleep little darling
And do that little dance for me
Nothing in my pocket
No fortune do I know
I'm headed home mama, I got a long way to go

I will be there by the morning
And I don't know what makes me leave anyway, anyway, anyway

And God I miss you little darling
And save that little dance for me
With nothing in my pocket
No fortunes do I know
I'm headed home baby, I got a long way to go

It's good to be home
It's good to be home
I'm headed home baby, I got a long way to go
