TOO LONG, YEAH IM GOING HOME

WELL IM GONNA WRITE A LETTER, GONNA SEND A TELEGRAM
TELL EVERYBODY THATS WONDERIN BOY

THERELL BE PICKIN, THERELL BE SINGIN WHEN I GET HOME
WELL MY HEART HAS DONE GOT HEAVY

AND IM GOIN HOME

WHEN YOUR SOUL IS A-RUNNIN DRY, A COUNTRY BOY CAN TELL

AND THATS A-DRINKIN AT THE FAMILY WELL
WELL ITS BEEN TOO LONG, YEAH WAY TOO LONG

JUST THERE AMONG THE STARS

OF THE HONKY TONKS AND BARS
YEAH ITS BEEN TOO LONG, WELL WAY TOO LONG
TOO LONG, YEAH IM GOING HOME
WELL IM GONNA WRITE A LETTER, GONNA SEND A TELEGRAM
TELL EVERYBODY THATS WONDERIN BOY
HE'S PACKIN HIS THINGS RIGHT NOW AND IM GOIN HOME

THERELL BE PICKIN, THERELL BE SINGIN WHEN I GET HOME
WELL MY HEART HAS DONE GOT HEAVY
GONNA LOAD IT IN MY OLD CHEVY
AND IM GOIN HOME
