Going Home For The Last Time Lyrics - Kenny Price

I was down and out as any man could be 

Sleeping in a mission they have for guys like me 

My shoes for a pillow beneath my head a cold hard mattress for my bed 

I was really feeling sorry for me 

Sitting on the bench next to mine I could see 

This poor soul in so much worse shape than me 

Yet a smile was on his face he said it's my last night in this place 

Then he lit a cigarette and said to me 

Chorus 

Oh tomorrow the sun's gonna shine shine shine 

And I'm a going home to stay this time 

Oh how happy my folks will be it's been so long since they've seen me 

Yes tomorrow I'm going home for the last time 

[ strings ] 

I dozed off and not much time could have gone by 

Then I woke up to see the flames were ten feet high 

He'd dropped his cigarette and as the flames engulfed his bed 

I recall the last words I've heard him sigh 

Repeat Chorus 

Yes friends tomorrow he's going home for the last time
