Gotta Get Back Home
Fruition Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If I could get right, right back to you
Honey, I would fly
Honey, I would fly
Then again, why would I right where I am?
Just wanna bring you by
Wish I could bring you by

The sun beats down gracefully, and the music′s on fire
Yeah, the music's on fire
Even if it takes all night for me to come around
I will never tire
I will never tire
Gotta get back home, gotta get back home
Gotta get back home, gotta get back home

Got myself a Stetson, shades to cover these eyes
Try to move in stride
Try to move in stride
One more night to kick back on the mountainside
′Cause in the morning I drive
Yeah in the morning I drive





Gotta get back home...
