Lyrics

GOING HOME (ANGIE'S SONG)

There’s something kinda wild
About a motherless child
Who shows up in your life
Ready to fight

It comes right down to choice
And that moment’s tone of voice
She stared at me
Testing out the waters

Won’t you take me home
I’m weary to the bone
I’m young but I feel so old
I don’t want to be alone

I saw the girl
Try to fix a broken world
That never did make sense
In her mind

I tried to hold on strong
So she could walk along
Knowing she had someone
By her side

Won’t you take me home
I’m weary to the bone
I’m young but I feel so old
I don’t want to be alone

Across the world
That’s my girl
Postcards sent
From where she went

It was dark at night
He was too drunk to drive
He pushed the pedal down
Showing off his speed

They say she never knew
But I don’t think that’s true
I think something in her
Must have cried

Won’t you take me home
I’m weary to the bone
I’m young but I feel so old
I don’t want to be alone

I am going home
I’m not weary anymore
I will never grow old
I am not alone
I am going home
I am going home
