He's been sitting by the phone since she left

But it's time for work and he just can't be late

So he grabs his old guitar and he plays a couple bars on the machine

And then he softly sings It doesn't matter what you've done I still love you

It doesn't matter where you've been you can still come home

And honey if it's you we've got a lot of making up to do

And I can't hug you on the phone, so hurry home Well, the message light was blinking when he got back

It was an old friend calling 'cause he just heard the news

He said man, I hope you find her

If I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried and want her to know It doesn't matter what you've done I still love you

It doesn't matter where you've been you can still come home

And honey if it's you we've got a lot of making up to do

And I can't hug you on the phone so hurry home Well, the days dragged by without a word from her

And it looked like she might not be coming back

People said man, don't you think it's time to take that old message off

He said no, you never know when she might call She was just outside a bar in New York City

Her so-called friends had left her all alone

She was scared he wouldn't want her

But she dialed up that old number and let it ring

And then she heard him sing It doesn't matter what you've done I still love you

It doesn't matter where you've been you can still come home

And honey if it's you we've got a lot of making up to do

And I can't hug you on the phone so hurry home He walked in just in time to hear her say

Dad, I'm on my way
