Lyrics for Song: When I Go Home Again
Lyrics for Album: Coming Home [BNA] [2005]
(Walt Aldridge, Gary Baker & Richie McDonald)
When I go home this summer, I done made up my mind
Gonna do some things I wish I'd done once upon a time
Everybody in the whole place, they're gonna know my name
I'll blow in like a hurricane then blow out just the same.
Paint scenes on the water-tower
I got the paint an' I got the power
Do everything I wish I'd done back then
Better late than never, they say
Can't let the moment slip away
I'm gonna fin'lly take my chances
When I go home again, whoa, ha.
Call old Frankie Walker an' ask him if he might
Meet me at the drag strip an' he can eat my dust tonight
I'm gonna look up Laura What's-her-name an' I'll fin'lly make it clear
I studied every square inch of her legs, our junior year.
Paint scenes on the water-tower
I got the paint an' I got the power
Do everything I wish I'd done back then
Better late than never, they say
Can't let the moment slip away
I'm gonna fin'lly take my chances
When I go home again, Whoa.
--- Instrumental ---
Everybody's got some things they wish they'd said or done
An' I'm gonna do my best to do 'em, every one.
Gonna fin'lly tell my Mamma about that Friday night
Didn't trip or fall: I got that shiner in a fight
An' if I get my courage up, I might just spill the beans
An' tell her all the details 'bout the night I turned eighteen.
Paint scenes on the water-tower
I got the paint, I got the power
Do everything I wish I'd done back then
Better late than never, they say
Can't let the moment slip away
I'm gonna fin'lly take my chances
When I go home again, all right.
When I go home again
Whoa, oh it's good to be back home again...
