Im going back to see the place where I come from I can't wait to get back there, It's been too long I'm going back to stay I wonder if what shape the old house will be I wonder if my friends will still remember me I'm going back, Going back to stay I can't wait to knock upon that old front door To see that face again That's what I'm waiting for I'm going back to stay The kids all playing games Under the lamp post light While mothers on their doorsteps Standing door all night I'm going back, Going back to stay Some people tell me that I must be mad To give up what I got for what I had I don't know there ain't no knowing But I don't care Because I'm going back I'm going back, Going back to stay I know when I get back to where I'm going to I'm gonna picture all the things I used to do I'm going back to stay In my imagination once more I will be A kid again And that's enough for me I'm going back, Going back to stay Some people tell me that I must be mad To give up what I got from what I had I don't know there ain't no knowing But I don't care Because I'm going back I'm going back, Going back to stay
