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 You 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 them what they want to hear How you took the place by storm You won't tell them 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
