Neil Young - Goin' Home Lyrics






On the hill where Custer was,
Making his last stand,
With the Indians all around,
And his gun in his hand.

Such a wind was blowing that day,
Through the battleground,
I could feel it in my hair,
As I turned towards downtown.

Weaving through the buildings,
Cutting though the streets,
Slicing through the culture,
Piling on the weeks.

Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home.

Dropping in on you my friend,
Is just like old times,
Said the fool who signed the paper,
To assorted slimes.

It's hard to get blood from a stone
But for you I'll give it a try,
To provide your accomodations,
And leave you satisfied.

You'd think it was easy,
To give your life away,
To not have to live up to,
The promises you made.

Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home.

Elusively she cut the phone,
Moved from cell to cell,
Really looking remarkable,
And obviously doing well.

She made a turn on a wooden bridge,
Into the battleground,
With a thousand warriors on the ridge,
She tried to turn her radio down.

Battle drums were pounding,
All around her car,
She saw her clothes were changing,
Into sky and stars.

Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home, I'm going home.
Going home.

  17. J.... N....

    Amped version of this tune .Saw them do this in Paris 2001 and they did,nt get anyway near this incendiary performance

  18. S.... L....

    Neil Young shows again what it is to play with passion. Even though there are many who point out that he can’t do this or that on guitar, he’s got the ability to use everything he knows to express all that he feels. That’s what makes the vocal performance, the driving rhythm playing, and the aching solos all so glorious. Sad to see Peggy singing in the background after all that’s happened since. But still, it was a real moment of glory.

  19. J.... N....

    First saw NY and CH do this in Paris (France ) at Debercey venue with the opening amazing Oasis . That night I was unimpressed with NY @CH performance and this tune was pretty new but played with out any of the usual NY commitment and energy. The whole concert was limp and insipid Something was wrong

  20. J.... S....

    Neil plays the most beautiful acoustic ballads and the most raw, brutal thunderous axe! Yes Sir, I love it!

  21. B.... P....

    Neil has the best beast pieces out there....Southern pacific, Like a Hurricane, I´m the ocean.....

  22. N.... ....

    Saw him ca. 30 times live and I was never disappointed.

    MARYSE PRADET ya glad you figured it out

    M.... P....

    thats where ultimately we are all heading to " HOME " since this Humanity came to the end of its insane loops of mass consumption , greed , depletion , Power Over , conflicts , oppositions . Volcanoes are erupting all over the planet right now - a bit Like Neil with his Gibson & voice expressing too much pain .

  26. M.... P....

    I wonder what is the subject of this song, could not find the lyrics nowhere, but it must be a sad subjet, this song is evoking sadness and even despair, anyone thinking like me ?

    M.... P....

    Its about the NativeAmerican sprit..How it can still be felt on an old battlefield today,,if you let it...

    M.... P....

    My feel of the song is the same. Spirits are seen as well as felt there.Neil has been tuned into it for a long time.IMO

    M.... P....

    Maybe you need to listen to it again,or more..Thats if you can take the chill it brings..

    M.... P....

    @Gary Brinker You are right about that Gary.The chill is felt on Grey Riders, recently Milky Way.✌✌

  27. L.... H....

    He poured his heart out on this one....Best ever.......
