[Verse 1]
In the gaze of the spotlight's eye
A long way from home
Still nauseous from a turbulent sky
Up on the stage alone
The live end of a microphone
Point blank to my soul
I'm trying hard
To keep my self control
[Chorus]
Ooh I want to go home
I wish that this night would end
But ooh I've got to go on
And shoot from the heart again
[Verse 2]
Somebody came for the rock n' roll
Somebody came for a smile
Somebody came for a sermon in song
Or something to call worthwhile
The expectations of who-knows-who
Examining my soul
Unknown faces expecting me to play some role
[Chorus]
And ooh I want to go home
I wish that this night would end
But ooh I've got to go on
And shoot from the heart again
[Verse 3]
I don't have no magical words
No pockets full of spiritual jewels
I only know about the way things are
In light of the simple truth
I don't know which hearts are breaking
Or whose flags are truly unfurled
Between here and heaven and the outside world
[Chorus]
And ooh I want to go home
I wish that this night would end
But ooh I've got to go on
And shoot from the heart again
