Story Behind the SongFor all those who've been through failed relationships, marriages, careers, and other of life's little disasters and needed to touch base with their roots.
Going, going home.
Going, going home
Take a deep breath and relax
One step out the door and there's no looking back
Feel the last pangs of regret
'Cause I'm not immune as another falls through but I'm
Going, going home.
I'm going, going home.
Catch the first cab that I see
Think about friends that are waiting for me
Load all my bags in the back
It feels like forever since I've been together but
I'm going, going home.
Every thing's changing - I'm going, going home
My ticket in hand at the gate
A glance at the clock says there's not long to wait
I gather what's left of my pride
There'll be no looking down as this plane leaves the ground now
I'm going, going home
To find what I've needed
I'm going, going home
I can hardly believe that
I haven't been back for a while
It's been years since I've had a reason to smile
With hope like that town through the glass
All I need are her lights to set everything right 'cause
I'm going, going home
I'd come apart if I never returned to the lake where the snow falls and autumn leaves turn and the field where I played without want, without need, and I learned about values and shaped my beliefs to where I held the world in the palm of my hand and nothing could make me feel scared and I'm standing ten feet off the ground with my head in the clouds and my whole life before me to make my parents proud and I'm home...
