3. Come home safe!

[Verse 1] You’ve been drivin’ through the night, Rain’s pourin’ down, no end in sight. Headlights blur, your eyes get slow, I whisper, "Please don’t let go." [Pre-Chorus] And when the dawn begins to rise, I see your face behind my eyes. [Chorus] Come home safe, my love, I’m waitin’ here, The road is long, the nights severe. I count the hours ‘til your engine fades, Stay awake, my love, don’t drift away. [Verse 2] Too much pressure, too much load, Too many miles on the same old road. You push on through the heavy haze, While I keep prayin’ for brighter days. [Pre-Chorus] I send you strength across the line, Please let the stars keep you in time. [Chorus] Come home safe, my love, I’m waitin’ here, The night is cold, but your light’s near. I count the hours ‘til your motor’s through, Come home safe — I’ll wait for you. [Bridge – soft and heartfelt] A smile, a word, a little grace, Can light the dark in any place. Respect begins where people meet — It keeps the world from fallin’ asleep. [Final Chorus – emotional build-up] Come home safe, my highway man, I’ll wait right here, as long’s I can. I’ll leave a light, ‘til your wheels are still, Come home, my love — I know you will.
