I was walkin down the Highway

My thumb out in the air

I'd argued with my father

And thought he didn't care

It was cold and I was angry

As I cursed his name that day

When a car pulled up beside me

And I heard my father say



Come on home, Come on home

I can't bear the thought of you

Out here all alone

It doesn't really matter

Who was right or who was wrong

Tears in his eyes he said please son

Come on home



She heard me say it's over

I can't do this anymore

Then I packed up my suitcase

And walked on out the door

A few days later from a phone booth

I called and thru my pain

Said I know I don't deserve it

But will you take me back again



Come on home, Come on home

I can't bare the thought of you

Out there all alone

It doesn't really matter

Who was right or who was wrong

Don't say a word hang up the phone

Come on home



My Pop's been gone a while now

And my Nan she's grown old

And I was with her when she spoke her final words

She firmly held my hand

Then she gently let it go

As she left to be with Grandpa

I swore I thought I heard



Come on home

Come on home

Can't bear the thought of you

Out there on your own

I've been waiting for you

And your time had finally come

Now you'll never have to be alone

Come on home
