Traveling Song lyrics

This is my traveling song 
The end of this journey is almost in sight 
An island-of-exile coffeehouse is my weary stop tonight 
My friends are dying or getting married 
It's hard to tell which one is which 
And I'll be back home in my own sweet country soon 
If I don't drive into a ditch 

This is my travelling song 
The border guards ask for my produce to take 
I tell them I've nothing to declare and my foot lifts off the brake 
My heart is crying "Too long you've tarried" 
It's hard to slow down for the curve 
And I'll be back home etc. 
If I don't forget how to swerve 

Bridge: I can know in my heart it's a sad cliche 
As the wanderlust calls me far away 
And I love the good old USA 
But it is not my home 
To my aching heart a mem'ry reaches 
Of her golden hills and endless beaches 
And the lesson that it softly teaches 
"California is your home. 
You've had time enough to roam, 
And it's time to come back home." 

This is my traveling song 
I open the door and I call that I'm back 
And I ask someone just what day this is for I find that I've lost track 
My family's flying in hugs I'm buried 
It's hard to tell which way to turn 
And I'll stay right here in my own sweet country now 
'Cause at last I've started to learn 

Bridge 

Coda: This is my travelling song 
But it's time to go back home 
This is my travelling song 
I've had time enough to roam 
This is my travelling song 
California is my home (x3)
