[Verse 1] Clock punched my name all day Same floor, same notes, same gray My hands held up the whole place Now I’m dragging home that weight [Verse 2] Keys in my pocket, bent Lunchbox empty, gas tank spent I hear my own front door And the whole day falls to the floor [Pre-Chorus] Turn the lock Hear the laugh Little feet on the hallway path I was gone Way too long Now I’m right where I belong [Chorus] I’m home, I’m home Leave that day alone I’m home, I’m home Right back where I’m known My wife at the door My boys on the run I’m home, I’m home The hard part’s done [Verse 3] One kid yells, “Dad, look!” (look!) One kid climbs me up to the roof of the couch You smile like you knew I’d be back before the moon [Pre-Chorus] Turn the lock Hear the laugh Little feet on the hallway path I was gone Way too long Now I’m right where I belong [Chorus] I’m home, I’m home Leave that day alone I’m home, I’m home Right back where I’m known My wife at the door My boys on the run I’m home, I’m home The hard part’s done [Bridge] Shoes by the mat Tie dropped on a chair Soup in a bowl And your hand in my hair I can breathe now I can let it go This whole long road Ends in our front door [Chorus] I’m home, I’m home Leave that day alone I’m home, I’m home Right back where I’m known My wife at the door My boys on the run I’m home, I’m home The hard part’s done
