I've lived a long life, I've been beaten black and blue, I've lived a long, long life, Lord, soon I'm coming Home to You.
The older folks look at you, tell you, “Enjoy these days, the best days of your life.” You laugh and don't understand, and got no wisdom, nothing but happiness, good times, living dreams, no strife.
oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh
oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh
oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh
Finally, after running hard at 9,000 RPMs for years,
You start to feel a little worn and slow down, learn some patience, live life well, but with much less stress and cares.
oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh
oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh
oh oh oh ohhhhhhhh
As you're creeping down the line of time, you feel it coming in your body and your bones, and your soul knows—oh boy, does it know—when you're getting ready to soon be called Home.
I've lived a long life, I've been beaten black and blue, I've lived a long, long life, Lord, soon I'm coming Home to You.
I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to You
I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to
Lord Almighty, Lord Almighty, Lord Almighty, I'm coming Home to You
I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to You
I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to You, I'm coming Home to
Lord Almighty, Lord Almighty, Lord Almighty, I'm coming Home to You
