Lyrics
I'll Be Home
[verse 1]
Music takes me on the road. Like the wind sometimes it blows.
Just can't wait till I get home, anticipation only grows.
[chorus]
But I'll be home, come the light. Stay with me in your mind, It'll be alright, it'll be alright.
[verse 2]
Heaven knows I'm having fun, but a ramblin man I'm just not one.
Miss my woman she's oh so sweet, her loving knocks me off my feet.
[chorus]
But I'll be home, come the light. Stay with me in your mind, It'll be alright, it'll be alright...it'll be alright.
[bridge]
She's the reason it feels so right. She's the greatest chapter in my book of life.
[verse 3]
My girl says I gotta be strong, cus I've been away for way too long.
Every hour it gets real hard, to be away from my baby's arms.
[chorus]
But I'll be home, come the light. Stay with me in your mind, It'll be alright, it'll be alright.
[repeat verse 1]
Music takes me on the road, like the wind, sometimes it blows.
[chorus]
But I'll be home, come the light. Stay with me in your mind, It'll be alright, it'll be alright.
