Kenny Price - Going Home for the Last Time lyrics

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
