Goin' Home (takes 3, 4) Songtext
von Elvis Presley

This proud wild land where the wind blows free
Has always been a part of me
It′s in my blood, I just can't get it out

For a hundred miles, a man can see
And be about as wild as he wants to be
If he feels like shoutin′, all he's gotta do is shout

Where the purple mountains reach up high
And look like they're gonna touch the sky
Where the canyon walls have stood for a million years

Where the days are hot, the nights are cold
The desert sand looks just like gold
These trails were carved in sweat and blood and tears


Where the painted desert, as you pass by
Looks like a rainbow in the sky
The cactus blooms in the early morning sun

Where the night wings sing, the eagles fly
The clouds paint pictures in the sky
The coyote′s howl tells you when the day is done

I′m comin' home, this time I′m gonna stay
I'm comin′ home, and I ain't never going away

My feet are itchin′ to get back home
I've had the desert fever since I've been gone
I need some lovin′ so bad that I can′t see

When a woman looks a man in the eye
You know it takes a man to satisfy
Thinking about them girls is killing me


I'm goin′ home, goin' home
Goin′ home, I'm goin′ home
Goin' home, goin' home, I′m goin′ home
Goin' home, goin′ home
