[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair Rain in the pockets, dust in your hair I found one coin by the garden gate Funny how little things learn to wait [Chorus] Come on back, don’t make me guess Say what you mean in that old address Come on back, the kettle’s warm We can mend the roof before the storm [Verse 2] Your brother’s truck is behind the shed The radio coughs what the preacher said I saved two tickets inside a book You never came, but I kept the look [Chorus] Come on back, don’t make me guess Say what you mean in that old address Come on back, the kettle’s warm We can mend the roof before the storm [Bridge] I’m not asking for a grand parade Just the promise you almost made Put your hand where the table shakes Tell me which road a good heart takes [Verse 3] Sunday morning rolls down the hill Blue smoke curls by the windowsill If you arrive when the church bells ring I’ll leave the door and the trouble swinging [Chorus] Come on back, don’t make me guess Say what you mean in that old address Come on back, the kettle’s warm We can mend the roof before the storm [Outro] Come on back, come on back Leave your coat on the kitchen chair
