lyrics

Get Myself Back Home

Freedom, it calls to me
Footloose ad far across the sea
Here and there without a care, that's the way to be
But freedom is never free
My days of wandering are gone
And now I'm pondering as I think upon
All my rambling from Timbuktu to Rome
I know one day I'll get myself back home

Trouble, it knows my name
Seems like my only claim to fame
Bad mistakes and lousy breaks, just myself to blame
But trouble, that's a losing game
The time for close escapes is past
Sad woes and narrow scrapes, behind me now at last
I've been running from Timbuktu to Rome
Now it's high time I get myself back home
Get back...

Fortune, well, you can bet
The more your risk the more you get
Add the sum of where you're from to what you can't forget
My fortune lies straight ahead
And on my odyssey I've found
Right where I oughtta be, and that's just where I'm bound
I've been searching from Timbuktu to Rome
For the answer, I'll get myself back home
Back home...
