Woman, I have to leave you
I can't stay where there is no pay
And I don't care where I'm goin' to
It's 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

I'm gonna search around until I find a friend
Who will believe in me for what I am 
Sing my song 'til it hurts

Play my music 'til I hit pay dirt
Now I've got to sing my song
Play my music, do the things I love

It's 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
