I'm coming home, I never thought I'd make it back Felt I was swallowed by the ground and opened up and cracked But I guess I'm standing here, the red dirt underneath my feet I've traveled far, I've traveled wide, I'm coming home Saw you the last time through the window of a stranger's car And then you sped up down the road, I wonder where you are The day you left I thought I'd die, I still got teardrops in my eyes But I'm still standing on my feet, I'm coming home I'm coming home, the only place that I belong I'm coming home, it's time to right the things that I've done wrong I've been all around the world, there's still so much I have to hurt I gotta get it out before I go, I'm coming home It doesn't kill ya, it might make you a stronger man I see the empty words goodbye there on the telegram The pain has stood the test of time, and every night I knelt and cried But I'm stronger on my own, I'm coming home I'm coming home, the only place that I belong I'm coming home, it's time to right the things that I've done wrong I've been all around the world, there's still so much I have to hurt I gotta get it out before I go, I'm coming home All the places I've been, I needn't go so far You can search for something that's right there where you are You have shown the world to me, and I now know not what to be And that has left me standing here, I'm coming home I'm coming home, to the only place that I belong I'm coming home, it's time to right the things that I've done wrong I'm coming home, to the only place that's left for me I'm coming home, and feel the red dirt underneath my feet I've been all around the world, there's still so much I have to hurt I'll get it out before I go, I'm coming home I've travelled far, I've travelled wide, I'm coming home
