5 Years, 4 Months, 3 Days

Well, I stepped into the station with my only suitcase in my hand
I bought a ticket at the counter and I said I gotta stick to my plan
'Cause I love that girl with all my might, and I think I finally got it right

5 years, 4 months, 3 days
Goin' home tonight

It was five years ago, I was barely just 21
And I wound up looking at the wrong end of a gun
But I finally think I got it right
I ain't seen a cop all night

5 years, 4 months, 3 days
Going home tonight

I've been lying and crying
And searching and dying
Trying just to run for myself
I've been burning and yearning
And tossing and turning
I couldn't think of nobody else

Well, I reached up on the shelf for my tattered old Samsonite
Oh, you're waiting at the station, in that same old dress that I like
Well, now aren't you a beautiful sight, I think I finally saw the light

5 years, 4 months, 3 days
Going home tonight

I've been lying and crying
And searching and dying
Trying just to run for myself
I've been burning and yearning
And tossing and turning
I couldn't think of nobody else

Well, I reached up on the shelf for my tattered old Samsonite
I see you're waiting at the station, in that same old dress that I like
Well, now aren't you a beautiful sight, I think I finally saw the light

5 years, 4 months, 3 days
Going home tonight
5 years, 4 months, 3 days
Going home tonight
Alright
