Woman, I have to leave you I can't stay where there is no pay And I really don't care where I'm going to Its been so long since I've been gone Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home My throat is raw from singing the blues Need all my friends to talk to Now yes I do need all my friends to talk to Gonna search around til I find a friend Who believes in me for what I am Sing my song til it hurts Play my music til I hit pay dirt Now I got to sing my song I got to play my music, do the things I love Its been so long since I've been gone Lord, I'm tired and I want to go home My throat is raw from singing the blues Need all my friends to talk to Now yes I do need all my friends to talk to
