Hey, I ain't never coming home
Hey, I'll just wander my own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
No, say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow
Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
I get so lost and don't know how
And it hurts to care, so I won't now
Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I'd done and where I've been
Sleep in sweat, the mirrors cold
See my face, it's growin' old
Scared to death, no reason why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I've said
Read the page, it's cold and dead
Take me home
Yeah, take me home
Take me home
Take me home, yeah
Take me home
Say goodbye, don't follow
Hey, I'll just wander my own road
Hey, I can't meet you here tomorrow
No, say goodbye don't follow
Misery so hollow
Hey you, you're livin' life full throttle
Hey you, pass me down that bottle, yeah
Hey you, you can't shake me round now
I get so lost and don't know how
And it hurts to care, so I won't now
Forgot my woman, lost my friends
Things I'd done and where I've been
Sleep in sweat, the mirrors cold
See my face, it's growin' old
Scared to death, no reason why
Do whatever to get me by
Think about the things I've said
Read the page, it's cold and dead
Take me home
Yeah, take me home
Take me home
Take me home, yeah
Take me home
Say goodbye, don't follow

This is my favorite AIC song. I don't know what was meant by this song, and I don't claim to. But i think it is realistic in the way it portrays the misery of life in such a beautiful melody. Goodbye Layne..... God's Peace
this is jerry cantrell telling layne what he sees, the direction his life is going. layne delivers an amazing vocal performance that is so heartfelt with all the emotions i can think of. "Forgot my woman, lost my friends<br /> Things I'd done and where I've been<br /> Sleep in sweat the mirrors cold<br /> See my face it's growin' old<br /> Scared to death no reason why<br /> Do whatever to get me by<br /> Think about the things I said<br /> Read the page it's cold and dead"<br /> the drugs cost him his woman and friends. he cant remember most of the stuff that he did to lose them. he sleeps in sweat from the detoxing from the heroin. the mirror is cold because he cant stand to see his own reflection. scared to death from the paranoia and helpless/hopelessness so he does whatever to get through it(the dope). when he remembers some of the stuff he did he cant believe the things he's done and lost. finally, he is screaming and pleading for God to take his life. unbelievable song. really sad, i feel everything he says because i too lost a lot due to my addiction. it can literally bring me to tears every time i hear it, because there was a day when i felt the exact same.
