Lyrics

Well they're still delivering the mail for you but I don't know why
Today I didn't get out of bed until I heard the truck roll by
I took to keeping the blinds shut to keep my friends from swinging by
I wander round smoking cigarettes and catch myself in the mirror sometimes

Chorus:
Hurry home down through Murfreesboro
Hurry home through Tennessee
Hurry home down them old backroads
Won't you hurry home to me

The other day I went downtown just to take a look alone
At the banner on the wall of city hall that says Johnny welcome home
I guess they'll leave it hanging there while they ship you home to me
It wasn't how you promised it, not the way that you said it would be

Middle 8:
Reminds me of the time when I just walked in through the door
Pushing past didn't know that it was your last letter on the floor
Just there thinking to myself
