Well, no matter where I wandered I know I'll always find a welcome at the end of every journey
There'll be friendly people waitin'
[Chorus:]
California would not hold me 'though I loved her timber mountains.
Worked her fields and worked her orchards up and down her central valley
I have driven open highway through the golden Utah valley
And I watched the rivers gently gliding. I wave my hand to friendly people
[Chorus]
Folks who know me call me a drifter. They don't know I'll stop my ramblin'
They don't know that someday, somewhere, somebody's gonna make me settle down
I'm going home, Lord, I'm going home
I'm going home!
