Cover art for Death In An Alcoholic lyrics by Maylene and the Sons of Disaster

"I'm heading home alone, Living out this call Don't give up your stronger than you look Just know that I've loved you both"

while these songs are about Ma Baker and her gang, they also have meanings behind them. I feel that that line could show that he loves his wife and Corgan, his kid. Heading home may mean touring.

He told me once after a show that the hardest part isn't leaving them, it's coming home to them, because he realizes that he's going to have to leave them again soon.
