make it a note to take your pills she said
i'll leave them on the table in the same brown bottle you know
she said, it's good to have you home
the second that i smelled the scent of my own house i said it

send just one postcard home
and call as often as you can to tell us how it goes
let us know

make it a note to make a point, he said
that's good advice, i'll take it
no, i'll start to use it to know

send just long messages
from me to you to let you know i'm okay
i'll let you know

i'm not making you proud
so don't wait up, i'll be home soon
i'm out of town for now
you're what makes it home that i'll come back to

make it a note to take your time, evette
take baby steps to everywhere and come home in one piece to us
you know, it's so good to be home
and only when i hit the road, i'm thinking of you both, i miss you

send just one postcard home
and call as often as you can to let us know how it goes
let us know

i'm not making you proud
so don't wait up, i'll be home soon
i'm out of town for now
you're what makes it home that i'll come back to (x2)
