“Goin’ Home Tonight”

Take me to the secret spot
Where you cast your magic line
We’ll lay out on the riverbank
And let the sun just shine
It won’t make no nevermind
If we ever get a bite
‘Cause we’re all goin’ home tonight

Take me to the ruins
Of the good ol’ family farm
We’ll dig up bones and carry stones
And search for buried charms
We’ll leave a little weary
As it drifts on out of sight
‘Cause we’re all goin’ home tonight

Take me to the battlefield
Out behind the bar
We’ll take a ride down Glory Road
In that ***** beat up car
Take me where you took the snort
That spun you out of sight
‘Cause we’re all goin’ home tonight

Take me to the railroad tracks
Where the ***** deeds are done
Take me where our hopes and dreams
Lie rotting in the sun
Take me where you draw the line
And we’ll have ourselves a fight
Still, we’re all goin’ home tonight

Take me down the road of trudging
Happy destiny
Take me where those single steps
Will finally set me free
Take me where the healing hands
Will help regain my sight
For we’re all goin’ home tonight

Take me to that secret place
Hidden in your heart
Take me down that rugged road
We traveled at the start
Take my hand and lead me
Through that starry, starry night
For we’re all goin’ home
Yes, we’re all goin’ home
Cause we’re all goin’ home tonight
