V1.  

I get so excited 

reading about my Lord

His words remindin’ me, I got

So much to thank Him for

The beauty of a sunrise

The gift of growing old

Down here He’s sure been blessing

But some day I’m gonna go

CH

To my Home away from home

Where the streets are paved with gold

I’ll spend a million years or more

With the fam’ly ‘round the throne

It’s beyond what I’ve imagined

But the place I’ve always known

And some day…  I know I’m gonna go

To my Home away from home

V2

Each mile I’m gettin’ closer

To those pearly gates

And I can hardly wait to see

My Jesus face to face

‘Til then I’ll keep on walking

This dusty, narrow road

Cuz I’ve got the hope of Heaven

And some day I’m gonna go

BR

I know it sounds crazy

But I won’t miss a thing

Cuz Heaven’s so much better

Than anything   (It’s my Home….)
