I guess I'm a dreamer My heart is gold I had to run away high So I wouldn't come home low Just when things went right Didn't mean they were always wrong Just take this song And you'll never feel left all alone Take me to your heart Feel me in your bones Just one more night And I'm coming off this long and winding road I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home I guess that I seem To make romantic dreams Up in lights Fallin' off the silver screen My heart's like an open book For the whole world to read Sometimes nothing keeps me Together at the seams I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home I'm on my way I'm on my way Home It's a bittersweet Symphony This life Just tryin' to make ends meet You're a slave to the money Then you die There's no change I can't change I can't change I can't change But I'm here in my mind I'm here in my mind I'm a million different people from one Day to the next I can't change My mind No, no, no I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home I'm on my way I'm on my way Home sweet home I'm on my way I'm on my way Home.
