Going Home
Jon Allen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Many miles we're yet to travel
Many lives we're yet to know
But there's a road that we must follow
And there's still time for us to grow

And though the way just keeps on winding
And every day's a changing view
Down the line I keep on finding
This old road leads me back to you

I have had my share of leaving
I have walked this road alone
Now I hear your voice a calling
I can see the lights of home

And though the way just keeps on winding
And every day's a changing view
Down the line I keep on finding
This old road leads me back to you

I don't need no stars to guide me
I don't need no moonlit sky
Cause I know my heart will take me
Back to where my true love lies

And though the way just keeps on winding
And every day's a changing view




Down the line I keep on finding
This old road leads me back to you

Many miles we're yet to travel
There are many more journeys for us to undertake


Many lives we're yet to know
We've yet to experience the shortcomings that life may bring


But there's a road that we must follow
There's a path that we must take


And there's still time for us to grow

I've had moments of parting ways


I have walked this road alone
I've traveled this path on my own


Now I hear your voice a calling
But now I hear your voice calling me back

Back to the place where my true love is
