Lyrics
Peter Buck
The western lights go on now babe
I never even saw them that way
You make it fast...but it never lasts
Then you're on the highway to home
You're making plans for the night
But something's just not right
Too much snow in this California sun
When you've finally had enough
And you've used up all your luck
Then your friends are all gone
Twenty minutes from L.A. back to nowhere on fast plane
Twenty minutes I'll be on the ground to the place where I am from
One more chance...to get it right
Wake me up when I am home
Wake me up when I am home
Wake me up...I am home at last
