Midnight on a southern highway
Don't know if I'm going the right way
I haven't seen a single sign for miles
All this stormy weather
Keeping us from being together
How long has it been since I've seen your smile
In this tunnel called the night
I can finally see a light
I've got a burning deep inside
I thought you might understand
I'm driving fast as I can
And you said you'd wait for me
Goin' Home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' Home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my family
Goin' Home
And I hope that they're still waiting there for me
In the eyes of the legal tender
You're the one who must surrender
I think they call it responsibility
I'm a man in motion
With only one compulsion
I've got to follow these dreams inside my heart
I'm not looking for a fight
No one's wrong and no one's right
And maybe we all need time apart
So please understand
I'm doing the best that I can
And you said you'd wait for me
Goin' Home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' Home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my sanity
Goin' Home
And I hope that it's still waiting there for me
I though you might understand
I'm doing the best that I can
And you said you'd wait for me
Goin' Home
'Cause I've been away much too long
Goin' Home
Going back to the place where my heart belongs
Goin' home
Going back where I left my family
Goin' Home
And I hope that they're still waiting there for me
Goin' Home
(Repeat until fade)

It's been forty days and nights
Since I've heard from you
Girl I cannot bring myself to ask you why
It's a fact that you're not here
I ain't accusing you
All I seek is simple answer from the sky
Chorus:
See the circle spinning 'round
Changing colors without a sound
Helter Skelter
Doom's day plan
Was just another tale of a man
Let me down - let me down in you heaven
I can really see everything quite clear
I can almost reach my hand enough to touch you
Girl I have it save and sound
I've got it yeah
(Repeat chorus)
It's been forty days and nights
Since I've heard from you
Girl I cannot bring myself to ask you why
It's a fact that you're not here
I ain't accusing you
All I seek is simple answer from the sky
(Repeat chorus)
(Ooh I love you love you baby
Get down tonight)

Well, there's a light in your eyes
That's guiding my way to your doorstep
And your voice called my name
With a sound that I've never known
I was a kid in a comicbook-world looking for answers
When out of the darkness she came
Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door
Chorus:
Last night
You turned a frightened little boy into a man without shame
Last night
We tore the hands off a clock and it read just the same
Last night
I had a crazy little dream and you turned it all around
Last Night
We took a chance, we shook it up, and now the world's upside down
All the fire in your heart
And the heat of your touch I'll remember
And you're dancing like a flame
Perfection in motion
It was the masterpiece from the start
Only you and I could have rendered
And I'll never be the same
I'm a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't care if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
And I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door
(Repeat chorus)
Like a cat on a crown
In the middle of the night
Doesn't matter if it's late
Doesn't matter if it's right
'Cause I laugh when I think
I may never have knocked on your door
(Repeat chorus)
Last night...

Stop, taking for granted
I am the one who's wrong
You might be surprised
Time standin' still
It seems like we don't belong
You'll realize
Start giving to me all you can
Stop telling me girl just where I stand
Chorus:
It's your turn you should show what you know to me
One I've not heard before
My concern you can't tell what you know to me
You can't say it all in a word
Life turns around
Time not to look away
And face what you see
Truth shows itself
So watch everything you say
When you're talking to me
You find yourself just in time
No don't be afraid of what you'll find on the way
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
No you can't say it all in one word...

She know you bad
You don't sing songs of love
She treats you right, she treats you like a web of love
You know who's of the heart, her notions of societies
You belong to know and just like our sophiaties
Chorus:
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, to see what you want to see
Modern eyes
Modern eyes, she'll paint you with the modern eyes
What you look for in people is not hard to recognize
Black man, white man, short man
They're all the same in size
You breath the air, you feel the sea and the sand and the skies
When nighttime comes you blind men with modern eyes
(Repeat chorus)
She'll paint you with the hupskin on
She'll paint you with the fire in your eyes
She'll paint you with the modern eyes
(Repeat chorus)

Hello girl
You're good to see
Love your face shining down on me
How does it feel with the warm winds blowing
Hello girl
You're good to know
Love your smile, I love your glow
How does it feel with the warm winds blowing
Chorus:
Must have touched a right part of me
A sign in your eyes
You came running in from the start
Connected all the right numbers
From the picture you were painting, of me
Listen girl
I can't let go
The time is right
I have to know what's it like
When the fire is burning
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus two times)

Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day
Chorus:
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Give me your answer as fast as you can
Hey Mrs. Johnson
Don't you know I really love you
Here's my life, it's yours today
Help me chase the blues away
(Repeat chorus)
Know these words are wrong to say
Need you more and more each day
(Repeat chorus two times)

Listen to my story
'Cause it may never be the same
And a young man in his glory
He may never see her again
Chorus:
Hey Miss Sun
What could I say
I tried to hold you
But the moon got in the way
It won't be long before the morning has you back in my arms
If I could just remember
What she told me with her eyes
'Cause Daisy ain't a member
And her eyes stare as I forage the skies
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)

Don't you know that the girl left a long time ago
And I find that she took half the blood that I own
And it pains me to think about wasting way the years
So I'll just wash this dirty whiskey glass with my tears
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
It's a crime the way we've been treatin' each other
And a maze in between the real me and the lover
I'm tired of believing that I lost all my senses
I never though my imaginary dream would be so expensive
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world
Love is a man's world

Everybody's moving way too fast
Before you blink you better find out who's in your path
The pressure's building up on every side
In my heart I know that I've got nothing to hide
What would make you think that you're the only one
Now I know my troubles have just begun
Chorus:
I'm on the run and nobody's stopping me
I'm on the run and there's nobody left on my side
I'm on the run and I know you're watching me
There's not enough time to decide
You never know what the night could bring
Every moment all the angels begin to sing
Why the worry - just to save your pride
With all the answers buried so deep inside
It doesn't take a crystal ball to see the truth
It's gonna take a miracle to see this thing through
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some old forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say
Hurry, boy, it's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-ooh
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside
Frightened of this thing that I've become
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-ooh
Hurry, boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa (I bless the rains)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa (Ah, gonna take some time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had, ooh-ooh
