About Goin' Home

"Goin' Home" is a song written by Alan Osmond, Merrill Osmond, and Wayne Osmond and performed by The Osmonds. It reached #4 on the UK Singles Chart, #30 on the Canadian pop chart, #36 on the Billboard chart, and #91 on Canadian adult contemporary chart in 1973. It was featured on their 1973 album, The Plan. The song was produced by Alan Osmond. It followed the same basic arrangement as their previous string of rock hits and, like the other songs on The Plan, carried a Mormon undertone ("going home" being a euphemism for heaven, and one point mentioning being a space traveler in a veiled reference to Kolob).

I'm a track star, gotta run far,
And I'm ready to go
Its a long, long road.
And I gotta make it on my own.

Everybody's gainin' on me,
Tryin' to slow me down, but if
I'm gonna make it,
Gotta fight, fight, fight all day,
And night, and day, all right.

Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all 
Right,
Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
If it takes me the rest of my life.

I'm a space man, from a different world,
I gotta get back home,
Ive been gone so long,
That I'm feelin' like a useless man.

Everybody's lookin' at me,
Tyrin' to help me down,
I gotta fight, fight, fight, even though
It takes
Another day, and night, and day, all right,

Oh me, why, why,
Is it either win or lose,
Somehow, someday
Ill never ever have to go away.

Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right,

Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right,

Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
I gotta make it, gonna make it all right.

Goin' home, goin' home, goin' home,
It it takes the rest of my life.
