Eight months to go 'til I go home Eight months to go, time passes so slow But soon I'll be walking the streets that I know Not watching the waves from the bow of the boat Eight weeks to go 'til I go home Eight weeks to go, time passes so slow Soon I'll be walking the streets that I know Not straddling state lines of south and the north Eight weeks to go 'til I go home Eight days to go 'til I go home Eight days to go, time passes so slow Each day is a decade of five or six shows The truth is I don't know if anything goes Eight hours to go 'til I go home Eight hours to go 'til Ohio Cruising on 77 for now Up through the mountains way up through the clouds The ETA slowly crawls into the now Nothing stops me when I'm family bound Eight hours to go 'til I go home Eight miles to go 'til I am home
