[Verse 1]
Many times I've been out in the cold lonely world
My heart full of sorrow and pain
Then I sing an old familiar song of the place where I belong
And my mind starts to think of home again

[Chorus]
So many miles and so many roads
So many people who don't even know my name
So many times I've looked to western skies
Nowhere I go is quite the same
As that sweet home waitin' for me
At the end of the day

[Verse 2]
Now my feet grow tired and the wind, it grows wild
And the road never seems to end
My mind, it races on, but the sunlight, she is gone
Thoughts of home start to fill my head

[Chorus]
So many miles and so many roads
So many people who don't even know my name
So many times I've looked to western skies
Nowhere I go is quite the same
As that sweet home waitin' for me
At the end of the day
[Bridge]
And it's too much confusion, too many lies
Too many times my heart has been broken right in two
I've shed too many tears thinkin' about those times
Cried too many rivers over you

[Verse 3]
Now the light up ahead, it means that I am near
You can smell the wood smoke in the air
And when I go back out again and I long to return
My old home, I know she'll be there

[Chorus]
So many miles and so many roads
So many people who don't even know my name
So many times I've looked to western skies
Nowhere I go is quite the same
As that sweet home waitin' for me
At the end of the day
