We had a good thing now it's gone
I can't believe I've been so blind
I wish I could go back home
I wish I could go back home
I'm so tired of living all alone
It breaks my heart to see her cry
An' he's getting love that once was mine
Now look at all the pain I've grown
I wish I could go back home
Now look at all the pain I've grown
I wish I could go back home
I wish I could go back home
How could I have been such a fool
Now look at all the pain I've grown
Turns out her love is what I'm needing most
But I'd trade my future for one yesterday
That's how I left her when I said goodbye
I'm so tired of living all alone
I got scared when love drew close
I never meant to be so cruel
Lord, I wish I could go back home
I left to sow my wilder seeds
What goes around comes back they say
I left to sow my wilder seeds
Wishing I could go back home
We had a good thing now it's gone
Instead I'm back out on my own
I left to sow my wilder seeds
She waited long as she could stand
Finally gave up and found another man
