I know it's been a long long journey
I know you're tired from your trip
I can see your pace is slowin' down
An' I can feel you're losin' your grip
I know it must seem like a million miles
But you'll never be all alone
I'll be with you ev'ry step
So John please take us on home

Take us on home John
Take us on home
Take us on home
Where we can rest our weary bones

We know at the end of this journey
Another one'll soon begin
We know it's a constant struggle
The game of life is hard to win
Maybe someday when it's better
We'll set our hearts at ease from now on
But now all we got is each other
So John please take us on home

Take us on home John
Take us on home
Take us on home
Where we can rest our weary bones

Maybe when the struggle is over
We'll have a brand new life
You'll be a golden chariot
And I'll have wings to fly
We'll sail away over golden streets
If there's such a thing goin' on
But we ain't made it to Heaven yet
So John please take us on home

Take us on home John
Take us on home
Take us on home
Where we never more will roam
