Lyrics
Coming Home © 2015
Driving the back roads Central valley 99 Been so long since I seen your signs
Roll down the windows Feel that dry wind in my hair so many miles left behind
I've seen the heartland I've seen the world I've seen the ghost
I use to be
I'm coming home I'm coming home I'm coming home
To be with you nothing left to lose
California blue skies
chase the shadows from my heart I lost so much along the way
Don't know the reason I finally changed my mind
guess I just had no where else to stay
I've crossed the byways I rode the steel
and all that time that ghost was chasin' me
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
what I gotta do
Now if I'd had the chance
to do it all again,
can't really say just what I'd a change
Can't ask forgiveness for all the things I done
couldn't even get outta my own way
come 'round the corner see the old house hasn't changed
'cept now Momma's roses are all dead
Walk up the front porch
and opened up the door
just need a place to lay my head
I've seen the bad times
I've seen the good
and my ghost just turned around and laughed at me
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
To be with you
