Story behind the song

One of life's major decisions has to be rectified

Lyrics

V(1) Got me guitar at the age of nine. Learned a few chords. Didn’t waste my  time. 
Went electric in my teens. With blue suede shoes and matching jeans. 

V(2) I travelled the country to make it big. Suitcase. Guitar. New town. New gig.
Several weeks of strumming around, made me wish I was homeward bound 

Chorus:  And I just look at the signpost to home, wishing that I wasn’t alone.
Towns and places I’d pass through to bring me home again to you. 

Bridge: Do I go home or do I stay? Be in your arms or strumming away?                    
Lure of the lights is such a pull, I really can’t decide at all.

V(3) Groupies and booze are not for me. I don’t need them, surely you see.
It’s just the money and all of the fame. I get my kicks from playing again.

V(4) Your call last night got me in a spin. A situation I couldn’t win.            
“Come on home to me”, you said, “Three good meals and a nice warm bed.”

Bridge: Do I go home or do I stay? In your arms or strumming away.                                                              
Lure of the lights is such a pull. I really can’t decide at all.

V(5) If I come home to be in your arms, away from the stage and all it’s demands.            
The thought of the lights and instant fame will draw me back on the road again.

Chorus:  And I will look for the sign-posts to home, pointing to you, all on your own.
Towns and places I’d pass through to bring me home to be with you.
Which do I choose? The music or you?  Every time the music wins through.
Stick to the music, that’s what I do. Selfish decision, now what about you?
