Long Way to Go (Headed Home) Lyrics

You drink one for your memories
You drink one for yourself
You drink one for the family
Last time you saw them was a long time agoI sing one for the children
You sing one for the miles
You sing one for them pretty green eyes
Im headed home baby, I got a long way to goAnd sing me to sleep sweet city
And let your highway be your lullaby
With nothing in my pocket, no fortune do I know
Im headed home babe, I got a long way to goAnd then 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
Im headed home baby, got a long way to goYou sing me to sleep little darling
And do that little dance for me
Nothing in my pocket, no fortune do I know
Im headed home mama, I got a long way to goAnd I will be there by the morning
And I dont know what makes me leave anyway
Anyway, anywayAnd God I miss you little darling

And save that little dance for me
With nothing in my pocket, no fortunes do I know
Im headed home baby, I got a long way to goIts good to be home, its good to be home
Im headed home baby, I got a long way to go
