Oh, it's a happy time inside my mind
  When melody has found a rhyme
  And says to me I'm coming home to stay
  Oh, coming home to stay
  Lord, I'm coming home to stay
  Home to stay
  Oh, Lord, it's just the same old story
  Something 'bout love for glory
  Nickel and a diamond is in fame
  Oh, it's such a shame
  Wow, the way they use your name
  Whew, such a shame
  Well, it's in my mind to sing a song
  Hoping that you come along my way
  Before I have to move along
  Now, move along
  Wow, but I'll be back again
  Whew, back again
  Ah, it's a happy time inside my mind
  When melody has find a rhyme
  And says to me I'm coming home to stay
  Wow, coming home to stay
  Lord, I'm coming home to stay
  Home to stay
  Oh, sleep late now, mama
  Let the morning sun warm your face
  While I'm awake
  While I'm awake
