Lyrics

I spent half a lifetime
learning how to please.
It?s hard to stand up
after so long on your knees.
I feel a little foolish
?bout the things I couldn?t see.
But the tenderness I felt for her
I?ll take with me.

Chorus 1:
Cuz I?m going home.
I thought I found the answer when she smiled at me
But now the answers they don?t come so easily.
And if you want me I?ll be stumblin? down the road.

She was the mountain
That I pushed my boulder up.
And I was the beggar
with a hole right through my cup.

Chorus 2:
But I?m coming home.
I?m making my mistakes out there for all to see.
But for every two steps back, I?m going forward three.
And if you want me I?ll be walkin? down the road.

I used to look for someone
Who could reel me in.
Now I look in the mirror
and I?m staring right at him.
New Hampshire, California,
they?re both windswept desert plains.
If you don?t have new eyes
the landscape stays the same.

Chorus 3:
Oh I?m coming home.
I can only see a little ways in front of me.
And if I die out here, I don?t care where you bury me.
Cuz by that time I?ll be flying down the road.
