So long, I hate to see you go So I save my tears for later on down the road Knowing you won't be coming home How come I keep I holding on As her car pulls out the driveway And she don't wave goodbye Her last words echo in my mind Listen honey, I gotta

Where are you now? Who do you go to for a shoulder to cry on? I hope that some day you might turn around and come back home When will I see your face again? No matter how far apart we become you know that I'll still hear your song This is the day. This

And you never knew my name You cut your teeth on the lack of answers, singing Come back home and it don't feel the same Well I've bled words onto a page for you Didn't I warn you not to? Didn't I warn you good? Maybe we couldn't help it Maybe we never

It's alright These whereabouts unknown Please know you can come home I long for the moment Our silence is broken It's alright now To the ends of this lost world You have marched and you have sworn To a tainted crown of thorns

Drinkin' beer and wastin' bullets Sittin' here Waitin' on a deer Aiming at the empties Missin' hittin' pine trees Ain't my fault them cans keep movin' My baby's on the phone Saying baby come home Where ya been and whatcha been doing

Let me go home But I wanna go home A million people I Oh, I miss you, you know And I wanna go home I'm coming back home Another summer day Has come and gone away In Paris and Rome

Come shine my way May healing waters bury all my pain Carry me home The fabric of reality is tearing apart The piece of me that died Will return To live again

You say daddy come home I hope when I get there that it won't be too late We'll just have to wait I'm sending this letter I'll mail it today There's so many things I've been wanting to say Your mom sent some pictures And my how you've grown Rock n' roll

You shook me all night long. You know you shook me, baby I have a bird that whistles And I have birds that sing. You know you shook me You shook me so hard baby Baby, baby, please come home. I have a baby, won't do nothing oh! Oh, oh, buy a diamond ring.

Waiting, waiting, waiting Whiskey in my hand Staring out the window For one more second chance Hoping headlights Come pouring round the bend Saying baby wait Up I'm coming home I'm still all alone
