FLYING TO MY HOME,
Home,
FLYING TO MY HOME.
Home, home, home
THE SUN IS FADING IN THE WEST,
OUT WHERE THE CATTLE ROAM.
I'M LIKE A BIRD AT THE END OF THE DAY,
FLYING TO MY HOME.
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.
UH.
THE SKY IS LIKE A PAINTED FLAG,
ABOVE A SEA OF CHROME.
I'VE GOT A WOMAN LIVING IN MY LIFE,
LIVING IN MY HOME.
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.
I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK FOR SO LONG,
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA RECOGNISE IT.
UH, UH, UH, UH.
THEY GAVE THE OLD PLACE A NEW FACE,
AND I'M GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO SIZE THE SITUATION UP.
AH -
AH-AH -

UH-UH-UH-UH-UH-UH -
UH-UH-UH-UH -
I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK FOR SO LONG,
I DON'T KNOW IF I'M GONNA RECOGNISE IT.
(Uh, uh, uh, uh)
THEY GAVE THE OLD PLACE A NEW FACE,
AND I'M GONNA TAKE SOME TIME TO SIZE THE SITUATION UP, OH YEAH.
THE SUN IS FADING IN THE WEST,
OUT WHERE THE CATTLE ROAM.
I'VE GOT A WOMAN LIVING IN MY LIFE,
LIVING IN MY HOME.
OOH, I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, (I'm flying to my home)
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, (I'm flying to my home)
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME, (I'm flying to my home)
FLYING TO MY HOME, SWEET MAJESTY,
I'M FLYING TO MY HOME.
I'm flying to my home,
I'm flying to my home,
Flying to my home,
I'm flying to my home,
I'm flying to my home,
Flying to my home,
Flying.
