Going Home

I sobered up, and packed up my truck
And hit Highway 29
Rollin' through the trees, I just couldn't believe
That I done made it out alive

Later on in the mornin', about a quarter til 9
I was on Interstate 10, west bound
After so many years, and too many tears
No way I was turnin' around
I hit Mobile Bay, and I was on my way
Lord knows I was making good time
I was north bound, I was puttin' it down
On Highway 65

I was crying, I said
Am I ever gonna go home?

After Baton Rouge, and Houston too
And Number 71 state road
You know that I was tired, I was runnin' them tires
'Cause Joshua's probably home
Hot Texas nights, and Lone Star pints
I was hittin' the road before long
I was gettin' stoned, and thinkin' 'bout my home
And hittin' ABQ before dawn

I was crying, I said
Am I ever gonna go home?

About 11 o'clock, I decided to stop
In the city of old Salt Lake
Eyes wide, I decided to drive
As much more as I could take
Next thing I knew, I was on Highway 2
And so much time had passed
Still on the road, thinkin' 'bout my home
And I still ain't stopped for gas

Still crying
Am I ever gonna go home?

Still crying
I ain't never gonna go home
