Story Behind The Song
We are all drifters at times. As husbands, wives, friends and lovers and as a country, we tend to get away from the basic ideals of who we are. I wanted a song that would capture that moment of realization.

Lyrics
Come Home
Come Home, come home
Come on home to yourself
You?ve been sleepin? in a slumber since you were seventeen
Far away baby from a peaceful retreat
On a cold, hard wooden floor - your chin against your knee
Too scared to break apart from these shackles at your feet
Making lots of money, but wasting energy
Eating and drinking and collecting things
Gotta mountain of honey - gonna savor every crumb
Such a shallow existence in the valley of the numb
I dream with my eyes open
Afraid, what I might miss
That dark haired jezebel
Awakens with a sweet, soft kiss
I step out in the light
I could go east, I could go west
Every mother?s son has a duty to do his best
