[Verse 1] I left before the sun got mean One bag and a half-torn dream Mama waved from the screen door light Told me, boy, you better treat that right [Verse 2] I been counting fence posts, mile by mile Working hard, trying not to lose my smile Your picture rides in my trucker hat Keeps me honest when the world gets flat [Pre-Chorus] And I miss that porch when the rain comes down Miss your hand in mine in this one-stop town If I’m too tired to say it out loud Then hear me now, hear me now [Chorus] I’m coming home, I’m coming home With dust on my boots and my heart worn thin I’m coming home, I’m coming home To the only place I ever fit in If the road keeps taking, I’ll keep on trying I’m coming home, I’m coming home (coming home) [Verse 3] The nights get long in a borrowed room A cracked guitar and a coffee spoon I learned the hard way what a man can lose When he keeps on running from the truth [Pre-Chorus] Now every wrong turn brought me here Back to the one thing clear You were the light I should’ve followed through So I’m on my way, I’m on my way to you [Chorus] I’m coming home, I’m coming home With dust on my boots and my heart worn thin I’m coming home, I’m coming home To the only place I ever fit in If the road keeps taking, I’ll keep on trying I’m coming home, I’m coming home (coming home) [Bridge] I don’t need much, just your front step A tired old dog and a little respect I’ll trade these miles for a second chance If you’ll still let this fool man dance [Final Chorus] I’m coming home, I’m coming home With dust on my boots and my heart worn thin I’m coming home, I’m coming home To the only place I ever fit in If the road keeps taking, I’ll keep on trying I’m coming home, I’m coming home (coming home)
