Goin Home Lyrics - Carpenter Mary-chapin

GOIN HOME (Mind the Gap) 

- Mary Chapin Carpenter 

This morning I work up with the feelin that Id been away too long 

All this blacktop runnin underneath my wheels makes me feel too gone 

Well I could use a lot of sleep and a little bit of time on my own 

And then the sight of you just waiting for me with open arms 

Chorus: 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome 

Now its the middle of November and the lilies bloom by the Gage springs 

Yeah, I can see us flyin down the Craig store road like weve got wings 

Turn the radio off, baby, all I want to do is hear you sing 

Yeah, I can close my eyes and perfectly imagine everything 

Chorus: 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome 

Bridge (1): 

All the time that I been takin 

All the things Ive never found 

Suddenly were waiting for me 

The minute that I slowed it down 

Instrumental break 

Bridge(2): 

All the time that I been takin 

All the things Ive never found 

Suddenly were waiting for me 

The minute that I turned around 

Tonight Im gonna wish you all the things that love can bring 

And then Ill climb right up and watch the sun go down on top of Reillys hill 

I feel the beautiful breeze just a-slippin in under the windowsill 

And smell the perfume of the night from those lilies of those fields 

Chorus: 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome 

Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome, Goin h-o-o-o-o-ome (mind the gap)
