I have traveled the line,
Held many hands on short holidays,
Made a lot of noise
In the strangest places far away.
Only for a day or two at a time,
I've been moving with the wind
On my side,
That puts me free and easy in my hometown.
I said I'd stay alive
I guess I didn't tell a lie.
I told you I'd come back again
And I'll say the same again next time.
I've been living for a day at a time
Movin' with the wind on my side.
You don't know how good it feels
I know I'll never want to go away.
You don't know how good it feels
To be with you again -
I know I'm comin' home to stay.
