What do you think they would say
If I stood up and I walked away
Nobody here really understands me
And so I'll wave goodbye I'm fine
And I'm fineTones of home
Said you don't like the way I'm living
Tones of home
Tones of home
And so I wave goodbye
I'm flyin', and I'm flyin' home, home, home, homeBut I always thought this would be
We'll see the land of milk and honey
Oh but I come to find out
That it's all hate and money
And there's a canopy of greed holding me downTones of home
Said, you don't like the way I'm living
Tones of home
Tones of home
And so I wave goodbye
And I'm flyin', and I'm flyin', I'm homeSee I'm so high to you, but I'll fade away
I said you're on your ownYour mom and daddy said
That your sister said
And your brother's saying
They're saying everybody
They're saying everybody
Is sayin' I, I, IAll my friends patronize me
And they say, "Yo, hey boy
Have you found what you're looking for?"
It seems they don't really know me
'Cause it's here, and it's what they can't seeTones of home
Said, you don't like the way I'm living
Tones of home
Tones of home
And so I wave goodbye
And I'm flyin', and I'm flyin' home
