I'm Coming Home

Sitting in a railway station, my suitcase in my hand

Going back where I came from, had more than I can stand

Of watching men destroy my dreams

Picked my brain 'til it was clean

When I was up, they knocked me down

Hey, I ain't gonna hang around

I'm going home, hey, yes I am (Coming home)

Won't you understand?

Why don't you tell someone to meet me?

I'm coming home

(Tell someone to meet me)

Why don't you?

Yes, sirree

Ooh, let me tell y'all

Came to this old town seeking fortune and some fame

I never got the chance to prove myself, though I tried to play their game

Using people just ain't my thing

I won't dangle from any string

To please some fool that don't care about

They turned me inside out

I'm going home, yeah

Had to find, you know

I got it, you know too

Hey, I know what I'm gonna do

I'm gonna tell someone to meet me

Home, yes I am

Look here

(Tell someone to meet me)

When you're down and out, hey, hey

I gotta admit it

I'm really not ashamed of half the things I said

And I don't want nobody trying to show me pity

'Cause I've had more than I can stand

And back home, I'll be a better man

I can rearrange my life

Might even find me a pretty wife

Hey, hey, hey (Home)

Won't you wait for me?

Start to get moving (Going home)

Lord, have mercy on me (Going home)

Try to be, try to be a good man

But I gotta get myself together, I'm going home (Tell someone to meet me, I'm going home)

Yes, I am

Hey, hey, hey

(Tell someone to meet me)

Why don't you? Why don't you? Why don't you?

(Tell someone to meet me)

Why don't you?

(Tell someone to meet me)

Oh, hey

It was gonna get steady, then I came to the city

Living in a cold, black place full of that— Hey

You know I gotta get there

Ain't used to living like that, see

It's been a long time

Since I felt like a real man

Coming to the city

Hey, you have the wrong thing

Have my things on my back, I'm going back where I came from

Yeah, 'cause don't nobody really care about you

Ain't having no fun
