Way back home
that's where I'll go
I left it many years ago to find
something of my own
something that was mine
but the woman I've become
would never recognize
the girl I left behind.
Way back home
that's where I'll go
the scotch I'm
drinking's 12 years old
& I never thought
I'd feel so low
these so-called
friends of mine
think life's a dirty joke
they'd never recognize
the girl I left behind.
Be where I want to
be where I want to be.
Way back home
that's where I'm going
the bartender's calling closing time
but I'm ready for an all-night drive
just the silence of the highway
underneath the velvet sky
I'll follow that white line
to the girl I left behind.
