Going Home (Stripped)

First Texaco station

Just outside of town

It feels good to be needed

Kinda want to turn around

First pack of smokes I bought

In the last three days

Been hiding them from momma

I know she hates those things

But I'll still light one up

And she'll still love me anyway

I'm a rolling stone

Never can stay long

And leaving is a bittersweet freedom

Even if I drive a million miles

I can never shake that feeling

Kinda takes me back

Kinda takes a tole

Kinda breaks my heart

Kinda makes me whole

That's the way it goes

Coming back from going home

Yeah, there's the strip mall

Where the lucky strike used to be

The cookie-cutter houses

That used to be evergreens

And the one that got away

Didn't really go nowhere

She moved back halfway through college

And got stuck cutting hair

And I still kinda wonder

What kind of life we could've made

But I'm a rolling stone

Never can stay long

And leaving is a bittersweet freedom

Even if I drive a million miles

I can never shake that feeling

Kinda takes me back

Kinda takes a toll

Kinda breaks my heart

Kinda makes me whole

That's the way it goes

Coming back from going home

You love it

You hate it

You leave it

You take it for granted

Yeah

But I'm a rolling stone

Never can stay long

And leaving is a bittersweet freedom

Even if I drive a million miles

I can never shake that feeling

Kinda takes me back

Kinda takes a tole

Kinda breaks my heart

Kinda makes me whole

That's the way it goes

Coming back from going home
