Feel Like Going Home
Walkabouts · Satisfied Mind [1996]
I've tried and I fell and I'm tired and weary
Everything I've done is wrong
And I feel like going home
Lord, I tried to see you through
But it was too much for me
Now I'm coming home to you
Yeah, I feel like going home
Clouded skies are closing in
And not a friend around to help me
Of all the places I've been
Lord, I feel like going home
Lord, I feel like going home
I've tried and I fell and I'm tired and weary
Everything I've done is wrong
Lord, I feel like going home
Lord, I tried to see you through
But it was too much for me
Now I'm coming home to you
Yes, I feel like going home
Lord, I feel like going home
I've tried and I fell and I'm tired and weary
Everything I've done is wrong
Lord, I feel like going home
