Well, I woke one morning

Found you staring down at me

You said "I'll take my share now, father please"

And you took your money

And you took your leave

You drilled my heart and turned your back on me



And you hit the town

And you hit the bottle hard

You race 'round in your fancy cars and you blow all your money

On brothels, beds, and bars

Before you know your broken times get hard



I still stand here waiting

With my eyes fixed on the road

And I fight back tears and I wonder

If you're ever coming home

Don't you know son that I love you

And I don't care where you've been

So please come home



And now you've hit bottom

All those open doors have shut

And you're hungry stomach's tied in knots

But I know what you're thinking

That you troubled me enough

Nothing could ever separate you from my love



I still stand here waiting

With my eyes fixed on the road

And I fight back tears and I wonder

If you're ever coming home

Don't you know son that I love you

And I don't care where you've been



Yes and I'll be right here waiting

'Till you come around the bend

And I run to you and hold you close

Won't let go again



So, please come home

Please come home



Don't you know son that I love you?

And I don't care where you've been

Please come home
