Lyrics

Passed the old church on the edge of town
Trailways bus was right on time
Passed your uncle's store on main street
His old truck was parked outside
Everything seemed so much larger then
This old town has hardly grown
Has it really been ten long years?
Now you're finally comin' home
Comin' home
You've been gone so very long
Comin' home
You'll just say you're comin' home
Left your hometown for the city lights
You were young and you were strong
Lots of traffic lots of sleepless nights
Lots of dreams that all went wrong
You'll just tell 'em what they want to hear
How you took the place by storm
You won't tell 'em how you lost it all
You'll just say you're comin' home
Comin' home
You grew tired of being alone
Comin' home
You'll just say you're comin' home
Comin' home
Comin' home
Comin' home
Comin' home
And they're gonna wonder
They're gonna wonder what went wrong
You'll just say
You'll just say that you're
Comin' home
And you don't know for how long
You'll just say
You'll just say you're comin' home
