I Am Going Home Lyrics

I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home
Well when I look over Jordan what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
Well there's a whole bunch of angels coming [everybody]
Coming for to carry me home, and
I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home
And if you reach up there before I do
Coming for to carry me home
Just tell everyone that I'm a coming up there too
Coming for to carry me home [everybody]
I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home

I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home
Well when I look over Jordan, what did I see
Coming for to carry me home
There's a whole bunch of angels they're coming
Coming for to carry me home [well everybody]
I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home, everyday, everyone
I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home
Well, I'm a going home
I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going home
Well, I'm a going home
I am going home, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
I am going...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
