Lyrics

I WAS SITTING ON THE FRONT PORCH WITH MY MOMMA
WHEN SHE TOLD ME THE NEWS
THAT THE BATTLE THAT SHE’D BEEN HAVING WITH HER DISEASE
SHE WAS ABOUT TO LOSE

SHE PLACED HER HAND UPON MY CHEEK    
AS A TEAR SLID DOWN MY FACE
SHE SAID MY TIME ON EARTH IS UP 
BUT I’M LEAVING FOR A BETTER PLACE

I’M GOING HOME
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAMES
AND THEY’RE PAVED WITH GOLD
I’M GOING HOME
WHERE THE FATHER’S LOVE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN
A THOUSAND SUNS
IT’S NOT GOODBYE, IT’S SEE YOU LATER
SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD
WE’LL MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE
SO UNTIL THAT DAY COMES
I’M GOING HOME

MOMMA’S FAITH WAS STRONG AND UNSHAKEN
AS HER JUDGEMENT HOUR DREW NEAR
SHE SAID I CAN SEE THE PROMISED LAND AND IT’S AMAZING
AS I WIPED AWAY A TEAR

SHE TOOK MY HAND AND SMILED AT ME
SAID DON’T YOU CRY MY SON
I’LL BE WAITING FOR YOU AT HEAVEN’S GATE
WHEN YOUR TIME COMES

I’M GOING HOME
WHERE THE STREETS HAVE NO NAMES
AND THEY’RE PAVED WITH GOLD
I’M GOING HOME
WHERE THE FATHER’S LOVE SHINES BRIGHTER THAN
A THOUSAND SUNS
IT’S NOT GOODBYE, IT’S SEE YOU LATER
SOMETIME DOWN THE ROAD
WE’LL MEET AGAIN IN PARADISE
SO UNTIL THAT DAY COMES
I’M GOING HOME
