I remember Mama crying, Daddy stayed out in the shop She asked where I was going, said to go until I stop Had everything I owned in that high-mile Cadillac And I set that gravel flying like I'm never coming back But I called her from a truck stop in L.A. And it almost broke my heart to hear her say Come on home if you're hurting because you're never alone The front door's always open, and the light's are always on You know you're always welcome and you've been gone too long Whenever you get ready son come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home We'll have a good fire burning, something on the stove If you get tired of running, and this world starts feeling cold Remember where you came from, and in Who's name you pray 'Cause me and Jesus love you, and that's never gonna change Come on home if you're hurting because you're never alone The front door's always open, and the light's are always on You know you're always welcome and you've been gone too long Whenever you get ready son come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home if you're hurting because you're never alone The front door's always open, and the light's are always on You know you're always welcome and you've been gone too long Whenever you get ready son come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home Come on home
