When I go home this summer I done made up my mind Gonna do some things I wish I'd done 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 and 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 When I call old Frankie Walker and ask him if he might Meet me at the drag strip and he can eat my dust tonight I'm gonna look up Laura What's her name and 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 and 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 And I'm gonna do my best to do them every one Gonna fin'lly tell my Mamma about that Friday night Didn't trip or fall I got that shiner in a fight And if I get my courage up I might just spill the beans And tell her all the details about the night I turned eighteen 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
