Lyrics

Not Going Home

When everyone has gone to bed I find myself all in my head
I'm walkin' down this lonely road
'Cause I ain't got no place to go
I want to find this peace of mind that people speak of
Yes, I tried, but I'm walkin' down this lonely road
'Cause I ain't got no place to go

Go in there, I go and I don't know where I will be tomorrow
Through the night we choose to fight
But all I know is

I'm not going home
Oh-oh, oh-oh, home
Oh-oh
I'm not going home
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, home, home
And I'm not going home
I'm not going home, oh
Ooh, ooh

Some people stop, some pass me by
It's pourin' rain, but I'm alive
And where I'm headed, I don't know
'Cause I ain't got no place to go
I'm seekin' something I can't find
I had before but I left behind
And I'd rather walk this lonely road
Than turn around and go back home

Go in there, I go and I don't know where I will be tomorrow
Through the night we choose to fight
But all I know is

I'm not going home
Oh-oh, oh-oh, home
Oh-oh
I'm not going home
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh, home, home
And I'm not going home
I'm not going home

Everybody needs a, everybody needs a
Changing of the tides, changing of the tides
Everybody sees the, everybody sees the
Breaking, a breaking, ooh
Everybody needs a, everybody needs a
Changing of the tides, changing of the tides
Everybody sees the, everybody sees the
Breaking, breaking

I'm not going home
(Oh-oh, oh-oh, home)
(Oh-oh)
And I'm not going home
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I'm not going home
(I'm not going home)
Ooh, ooh
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
