[Verse 1]
Stamped my time card down
Dust still on my jeans
Left a whole day behind me
In a sheet of machine grease
Hands wrapped tight on that wheel
Miles peeling off slow
One red light, then another
Till I see my turnoff
[Pre-Chorus]
I can smell that supper
Through the screen door air
Hear my name in the hallway
Like a prayer
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Let the hard world go
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Where the warm lights glow
Fryin' pan singing
Kids runnin' bare feet
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Where I get back to me (back to me)
[Verse 2]
Could be nails, could be numbers
Could be mud on my boots
Could be boxes, could be blood work
Could be pushin' through
Long road rollin' under me
Like a stubborn old song
But that mailbox on the gravel
Pulls me right along
[Pre-Chorus]
I can smell that supper
Through the screen door air
Hear my name in the hallway
Like a prayer
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Let the hard world go
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Where the warm lights glow
Fryin' pan singing
Kids runnin' bare feet
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Where I get back to me (back to me)
[Bridge]
Set my keys in the bowl
Kick my boots by the mat
Lay my forehead on your shoulder
And let the day fall flat
A kiss on my salt-dry cheek
A plate piled high and plain
That kind of quiet good livin'
Washes off the rain
[Chorus]
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Let the hard world go
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Where the warm lights glow
Fryin' pan singing
Kids runnin' bare feet
I'm goin' home, goin' home
Where I get back to me (back to me)
[Outro]
Home at last
Home at last
Warm lights
Warm lights
