Title "I'm on my way home"

Phrases that must be included

"the man behind the curtain"
"Windmill"
"highfalutin"

I'm on my way home...

I tried for so long
to ignore the truth,
searching for something new.

I wandered down
the yellow brick road
ran into the wizard,
with the highfalutin' attitude.
I thought he could help me,
show me what real love is,
but he used me
then told me
to ignore
the man behind the curtain.

I continued my journey,
sure I would find my way
eventually.

I checked the windmill
to decide where to drift next,

but I promised
I wouldn't stay away
forever,
so I packed
my world
into a beatup
old suitcase
and started driving.
