When I Go Home Again

When I go home this summer, I done made up my mind
 Gonna do some things I wish I'd done back once upon a time
 Everybody in the whole place, they're gonna know my name
 I'll blow in like a hurricane, then blow out just the same
 Paint scenes on the water-tower
 I got the paint, I got the power
 Do everything I wish I'd done back then
 "Better late than never," they say
 Can't let the moment slip away
 I'm gonna fin'lly take my chances
 When I go home again
 Whoo-hah!
 Gonna call old Frankie Walker an' ask him if he might
 Meet me at the drag strip an' he can eat my dust tonight
 I'm gonna look up Laura What's-her-name an' I'll fin'lly make it clear
 I studied every square inch of her legs our junior year
 Paint scenes on the water-tower
 I got the paint an' I got the power
 Do everything I wish I'd done back then
 "Better late than never," they say
 Can't let the moment slip away
 I'm gonna fin'lly take my chances
 When I go home again
 Whoo!
 ♪
 Everybody's got some things they wish they'd said or done
 An' I'm gonna do my best to do 'em every one
 Gonna fin'lly tell my Mama about that, Friday night
 Didn't trip or fall, I got that shiner in a fight
 An' if I get my courage up, I might just spill the beans
 An' tell her all the details 'bout the night I turned 18
 Paint scenes on the water-tower
 I got the paint, I got the power
 Do everything I wish I'd done back then
 "Better late than never," they say
 Can't let the moment slip away
 I'm gonna fin'lly take my chances
 When I go home again
 All right
 When I go home again
 Whoo! Oh, it's good to be back home again
