Coming Home

Carl Perkins / Johnny Cash / Jerry Lee Lewis / Roy Orbison



It's a long and lonely highway

When you're traveling all alone

I was on my way to nowhere

But now I'm coming home

I'm coming home



I've been running through the fire

I've been burning for so long

If I took it any higher

Baby, I would be still be gone



And now I'm coming home

Coming home, I'm coming home



I'm coming home, coming home

I'm coming home



Well, my home was really never

On a far and distant shore

If I stayed away forever

I could never miss you more



And so I'm coming home

Coming home, I'm coming home

I'm coming home, coming home

I'm coming home



I think of all the years gone by

Never even wondered why

I never touched the ground

All the time that's come and gone

All the nights I've spent alone

And now I'm homeward bound



I heard the thunder over Canaan

And I heard the angels cry

And their voices came revealing

As you live, so will you die



Oh, I'm coming home, coming home

I'm coming home

I'm coming home, coming home

I'm coming home



I'm coming home

I'm coming home

I'm coming home
