I have to go out on the road my tour it starts today
I have to earn some money there are many bills to pay
I know for sure that when I'm gone I'll feel so all-alone
And I'm always longing in my heart
For the day I'll come back home
I drive in an old borrowed van and hope it won't break down
Hope that I can use it for going from town to town
And though I'm tryin' to please myself with sunshine snow or rain
I'm always longing for the day
I'll be coming home again
I open the motel room door and make a step inside
I feel so sad and lonely that I wanna try to hide
My guitar is my only friend I take it in my arm
But all the songs I try to sing
They tell of pain and harm
The show it starts at nine o'clock I try to do my best
And afterwards I go to bed and try to get some rest
But I can't sleep I'm thinkin' and I'm tryin' to ease the pain
I'm always longing for the day
I'll be coming home again
One day I'll be back home again and there I'm goin' to stay
And for no money in this world I'd ever go away
But in my memory I can hear the ringing of a tone
That I'm always longing in my heart
For the day I'll come back home
I'm always longing in my heart
For the day I'll come back home
