I'm Goin' Home - Hootie & The Blowfish

Mama, please don’t go

Won’t you stay here for one more day?

I’ve been your boy for so long now

There’s so much I, I still have to say

Sky rips open, and I held my heart in my hand

Like a soldier on his very last day

Cried myself to sleep that night

And I listened as I heard the angels sing

Sha la la

Sha la la la, sha la la la, I’m going home

Sha la la la, la la la la, I’m going home

Oh, something inside of me makes me scream

How could God take you from a little boy?

He’ll be alright, he is by my side

He’s my little boy, he’s my pride and joy

Sha la la la la

(Sha la la la)

Sha la la la

(La la la la, I’m going home)

Take me home

(Sha la la la)

Sha la la la la la

(La la la la, I’m going home)

Make it ease on down

Summer on the radio

When the phone rang and it was Jeanette

Said boy we had to let her go

I begged her no, no not yet

You left six of us to fend for ourselves

Guess it’s just part of someone’s master plan

We’ll see you laugh, 'cause you’re my best friend

You were the light of the lamb

And I smile when the angels sing

Sha la la la la la la

(Sha la la la, la la la la)

No no no, oh

(I'm going home)

Take me home

(Sha la la la)

Sha la la la la la la

(La la la la, I’m going home)

No, sha la

Hear the angels sing, sha la

(Sha la la la)

Oh, they’re singing now

(La la la la)

Sha la la, sha la la

(I'm going home)

Sha la la la la la, go on and sing for me now

(Sha la la la)

Sha la la, sha la la la la

(La la la la, I’m going home)

No, no, no no, mama

No no, mama

No no, no no no no

Why, why, why, why, why?

Sha la la la la

I wish y’all would hear when I scream

Sha la, sha la la la la, oh…

(Sha la la la, la la la la)

See, all I ever wanted was her and me back when

(Sha la la la)

All she wanted was me, believe me

(La la la la)

Now she sings sha la, I can hear you sing…
