[Intro] (Acoustic guitar, distant thunder, steel guitar answers quietly) The hardest part... Wasn't leaving... It was convincing myself... There was always one more day... [Verse 1] The sun came up Like it always did Never knew A whole life Could slip that quick I chased overtime I chased one more mile Thought I was building tomorrow While losing us all the while Pride never says "Don't go home..." It just keeps whispering... "Not yet..." [Pre-Chorus] Then one empty driveway Asked me one question... "What mattered most?" [Chorus] I 4Got 2 come home Not your love Just my way back I 4Got Time don't wait Now I'm standing At your door (steel guitar cries) [Verse 2] The porch light faded Before I could see It wasn't the house Waiting on me It was every supper You saved my chair for Every "Drive safe" I hurried past Every quiet prayer You whispered After I was gone [Pre-Chorus] Funny how silence Can teach a man Everything He should've learned From love... [Chorus] I 4Got 2 come home Not your love Just my way back I 4Got Time don't wait Now I'm standing At your door [Bridge] (Piano and cello rise. Drums drop out.) I don't need forgiveness To tell the truth I need the courage To knock... Before another season Calls my name And another year Slips away Because forever... Doesn't disappear All at once... It leaves One missed evening... At a time... [Final Chorus] I 4Got 2 come home Now I'm here To stay this time No more roads No more "not yet" You're my home And always were... (Claude's signature emotional run) "Woooorrrreeee..." [Outro] (Acoustic guitar, steel guitar, warm piano) I never forgot... Where you were... I just forgot... To come home... (soft vocal run)
