Home Tonight Lyrics - Singles - Witness

Sunrise, sunset, Twenty hour car ride 

We're down south and it's gonna be a hard night 

We got the Pharcyde playing in the tape deck 

Going to Chicago where the potholes break necks 

Making good time 

Dippin on them toll booths 

Eating at them diners where the waitress gotta gold tooth 

I met a kid that said that I should date his sister 

That shit would never happen 

Republicans are bad kissers 

But that's tour 

In America's back porch 

We get a little love 

Then it's back to the blackboard 

It's back north 

And then it's back home 

Back east 

Back still killing me from sleeping in the back seat 

I gotta stomach full of fast food chicken 

In a back room sipping on a Pabst Blue Ribbon 

And I didn't want to listen to your rap crew spittin 

But I'm digging the cheap beer and tattooed women 

This city's gonna be my home tonight 

This town's gonna be my home tonight 

This world's gonna be my home tonight 

Ain't no place like home 

I'm looking for happiness 

Where it's hiding in the future 

Cause The Wonder Years are over 

And I never got with Winnie Cooper 

I used to be the skinny loser that could write a thesis 

And I'm still a skinny loser but I'll rip your mic to pieces 

But that's a right I keep a refusing to waive 

I punch lines so hard that I'm bruising the page 

I do it as a student of the loop and break and 

Live life like "What would Larry David do with his day?" 

It's like that y'all 

As a recovering rag doll 

I'm done with shallow women that think that they're Carrie Bradshaw 

I mapped every dip and valleys on the mattress 

And I'm still infatuated with the pages of an atlas 

So that's it 

I got the bag packed quick 

Left the television on 

But I'm never coming back, kid 

We all gotta pay the bills this month 

And tonight I've been enlisted just to make a fist pump 

Pennsylvania and Arizona 

South Dakota and New York City 

Been a lot of places and I've seen a lot of people 

But I'm never going home, cause it looks so...
