Come Back Home Songtext
Five years at the mill almost got me killed
Call it something like self loathing, call it what you will
But the day that I met you, over cigarettes and booze
You didnt love me cos Is tough, you loved me cos Is true im sayin
All I wanna do is come back home
All I wanna do is come back home

Spent five years with you, best that I could do
Our love was solid gold, good lord, our love was something true
But when your old man came around, I ran him outta town
He was not prepared for me, when I chased him down just swingin
All I wanna do is come back home
All I wanna do is come back home

Five years in the jail, could not come up with bail
If I did Id a bought a ship, you know that I would have set sail
Lord to start another life, with you as my wife
Thats why I jumped the wall with all your love letters one night cryin
All I wanna do is come back home
All I wanna do is come back home

Five years on the run, regrettin what I done
But honey I have tried to come and see you more than once
I could not get close to the one I loved the most
The police have surrounded you, now Im just a ghost screamin
All I wanna do is come back home
All I wanna do is come back home
