[Verse 1]
I was 25
When I found my love and I felt alive
Nothing ever could be so fine
I was going home
3 years of my life
I finally got my family right
Nothing ever could be so fine
I was going home
[Verse 2]
I was 32
Forgot about love til I thought about you
And nothingness seemed what to do
I was headed home
When I met a friend of mine
I hadn't seen in quite some time
We made talk til half-past nine
I am going home
[Chorus]
I'm not going back
I'm not gonna unpack my mistakes anymore
Is it a mistake if it leave you better off than before?
I'm decorating my walls
With pictures of the things I wanted most of all
Maybe this time
I'll get it right
[Verse 3]
I was 54
I packed my bags walked out the door
Didn't tell her just what for
I am going home
Not my finest time
At least I did it without lying
I know she'll be just fine
I am going home
[Chorus]
I'm not going back
I'm not gonna unpack my mistakes anymore
Is it a mistake if it leave you better off than before?
I'm decorating my walls
With pictures of the things I wanted most of all
Maybe this time
I'll get it right
[Instrumental Solo]
[Verse 4]
I was 25
When I found my love and I felt alive
And nothing else has been so fine
I am going home
Another year of my life
Still trying to get my family right
And nothing ever could be so fine
As I am going home
