I've made my peace with this highway Done my time, tried to carry my weight I've had some good friends beside me But now is the hour and I can't be late... (chorus) I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight... They say you get what you pay for But I'm here to tell you I think that they're wrong 'Cause I payed nothing for this sunset Or the roll of this river and a high lonesome song... (chorus) I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight... (chorus) I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight... And I'm on this ride till it closes You take what's been dealt you You play it on through And all these beautiful diversions As fine as they are Just can't keep me from you... (chorus) I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight I'm going home tonight, I'm going home tonight... to fade
