[Verse 1] It’s been thirty years since I saw this road, Thirty years carrying that old load, The fields look smaller, the trees grew tall, But I swear I still remember it all. There’s a light in a window I used to know, And the river still runs where we used to go, I thought I’d forgotten how home would feel, But standing here now, I know it was real. [Pre Chorus] I left with a heart full of questions, Came back with silver in my hair, After all the miles between us, I can’t believe I’m finally here. [Chorus] I’m coming home, I’m coming home, After all these years of being gone, And the sun feels warmer on my face, Like I never really left this place. There were nights I thought I’d lost my way, But hope kept whispering, “one more day.” Now my heart is young, though the years have flown, I’m alive, I’m free, I’m coming home. [Verse 2] Some names are missing from the old front doors, Some voices don’t echo here anymore, I walk past the corner where we used to meet, Hear my younger footsteps beneath my feet. And I smile at the boy that I used to be, Because somehow he kept this place for me. [Chorus] I’m coming home, I’m coming home, After all these years of being gone, And the sun feels warmer on my face, Like I never really left this place. There were nights I thought I’d lost my way, But hope kept whispering, “one more day.” Now my heart is young, though the years have flown, I’m alive, I’m free, I’m coming home. [Bridge] Here’s to every road that brought me back, Every wrong turn, every broken map. I can’t change the years behind, But there’s so much life I still can find. Open the windows, let morning in, I’m coming home to begin again. [Final Chorus] I’m coming home, I’m coming home, Every mile was leading me this way, To this beautiful, ordinary day. Let the church bells ring, let the old trees sway, I’ve got tomorrow, and I’m here today. After all those years and roads unknown, There’s hope in my heart, And God, it feels good To finally come home. [Outro] The road still knows my name, The wind still sounds the same, And somewhere inside I’ve known, I was always coming home.
