Halfway Home

Restless in the autumn wind

when the leaves begin to fall.

Mama says I'm lost again

because I didn't answer her call,

and I guess she doesn't know

how her child has grown

and that I'm halfway home.

Look at all the troubles I see,

don't they turn my head around!

But Mama, don't you worry 'bout me,

I don't let it bring me down.

Someday it may get old

somewhere down this road

but now I'm only halfway home.

I heard the call, I answered it

and I left my past behind.

Along the way, the road has turned a bit

so I keep my compass in sight.

I guess I've got a lot more to go

and how the cold wind blows

when you're only halfway home.
