As I woke up at the dawn of the day And I felt no one there beside me And I felt life like a clock tickin' on This road ahead and behind me I knew this day would be different Different from any I've known I'm listenin' hard for the call So that I can move on But it's too late now I'm on the highway headed for the coast But it's too late now I'm tryin' to beat time I suppose As I sit still on the shining distant shore Not sure what he was trying to say Where's the answer that I came looking for Surely be laying in wait for me Some times I'm not sure what I'm doing Riding alone in the night Searchin' hard for the answers Searching for the light But it's too late now From the highway to the street to the avenue But it's too late now Am I doin' what I'm supposed to do? There's a long and winding road That's led me this far from my home I can turn on my heels But I choose to move on Searchin' hard for the answers, Lord But the questions aren't comin' out right All you know is the darkness You pray that someday, someday, someday Now you just might, just might, just might Well it seems like another uneventful day Never needed to stray so far oh Lord I just opened up my eyes Looked around and realized Everything I always wanted was in front of me And now my days are different; Different from days I have known Sometimes you gotta hit the road To wind up back home (oh back sweet home) But it's too late now To convince me once again to go But it's too late now Where I's coming home is where I belong
