Kenny Price - Going Home For The Last Time lyrics

rate me

I was down and out as any man could be

Sleeping in a mission they have for guys like me

My shoes for a pillow beneath my head a cold hard mattress for my bed

I was really feeling sorry for me

Sitting on the bench next to mine I could see

This poor soul in so much worse shape than me

Yet a smile was on his face he said it's my last night in this place

Then he lit a cigarette and said to me

Chorus

Oh tomorrow the sun's gonna shine shine shine

And I'm a going home to stay this time

Oh how happy my folks will be it's been so long since they've seen me

Yes tomorrow I'm going home for the last time

[ strings ]

I dozed off and not much time could have gone by

Then I woke up to see the flames were ten feet high

He'd dropped his cigarette and as the flames engulfed his bed

I recall the last words I've heard him sigh

Repeat Chorus

Yes friends tomorrow he's going home for the last time
