You drink one for your memories You drink one for yourself You drink one for your family Last time you saw them was a long time ago I sing one for the children You sing one for the miles You sing one for them pretty green eyes I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go And sing me to sleep sweet city And let your highway be your lullaby With nothing in my pocket No fortune do I know I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go Well you say a little prayer in the morning You pray for those you left behind Your heart starts to break as the sun goes down I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go Sing me to sleep little darling And do that little dance for me Nothing in my pocket No fortune do I know I'm headed home mama - I got a long way to go I will be there by the morning And I don't know what makes me leave anyway, anyway, anyway And God I miss you little darling And save that little dance for me With nothing in my pocket No fortunes do I know I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go It's good to be home It's good to be home I'm headed home baby - I got a long way to go
