    [Intro]
[Soulful Vocals]
Ooh, baby, I know what I gotta do

[Verse 1]
[Storytelling, Reflective]
Sunrise paints the window pane a hazy shade of gold
Another day is dawning, a story to unfold
You're talking 'bout your dreams, the big ones and the small
And how this city's got a hold, gonna make you stand up tall
But I see the weariness, the miles upon your face
A longing for a simpler time, a familiar, loving space

[Pre-Chorus]
[Building Emotion]
And though I love you dearly, and want to see you shine
There's a whisper in my spirit, that your true north is defined

[Chorus]
[Gospel-tinged, Uplifting]
So I'm packing up my bags, darling, no need to delay
Got a one-way ticket, gonna carry you away
Back to where the sky is wider, and the air is sweet and clean
Back to where your heart belongs, my love, my queen

[Verse 2]
[Nostalgic, Warm]
Remember summer evenings, fireflies in the dark?
The porch swing creaking softly, leaving its gentle mark
You built your hopes up high here, chased that city gleam
But some roots run too deep, my love, it's more than just a dream

[Pre-Chorus]
[Slightly Resigned, Loving]
And as I watch you packing, a tear begins to fall
But it's a tear of understanding, answering your soul's call

[Chorus]
[Gospel-tinged, Uplifting]
So I'm packing up my bags, darling, no need to delay
Got a one-way ticket, gonna carry you away
Back to where the sky is wider, and the air is sweet and clean
Back to where your heart belongs, my love, my queen

[Bridge]
[Harmonies, Reflective]
This journey might seem lonely, this road may feel unknown
But hand in hand, my darling, you'll never be alone
We're trading the bright lights for a quiet, steady flame
And whispering your true home's name

[Chorus]
[Gospel-tinged, Triumphant]
So I'm packing up my bags, darling, no need to delay
Got a one-way ticket, gonna carry you away
Back to where the sky is wider, and the air is sweet and clean
Back to where your heart belongs, my love, my queen

[Outro]
[Fading Vocals, Gentle]
Yeah, back home, baby
Gonna take you home
Ooh, back home
My sweet darling, back home
[Fade Out]
