Many times I've been out on the cold lonely road My heart full of sorrow and pain And I sing an old familiar song of the place that I belong When my mind starts to think of home again Chorus: So many miles and so many roads And people who don't even know my name So many times I've looked to western skies Nowhere I go is quite the same As that sweet home waiting for me At the end of the day Now my feet grow tired and the wind, it grows wild And the road never seems to end And my mind, it races on from the sunrise (she is gone) Thoughts of old start to fill my head ( Chorus ) And it's too much confusion, too many lies Too many times my heart has been broken right in two I've shed too many tears thinkin' about those times Cried too many rivers over you Well, the lights up ahead they mean that I am near I can smell the wood smoke in the air And when I go back out again (and I long to return to) My old home, I know she'll be there ( Chorus )
