Lyrics

These city lights are starting to dim

I miss my folks, and I miss my kids

Had done did a lot of things that I'd rather forget

Had done lived a lot of ways that I'd rather not live

Had done been through hell, I paid my dues

I fell in love, and I sung the blues

I done lost it all, a time or two

But still, I stand after all I've been through

I fought through addiction and overcame

Gotta find new ways to kill the pain

It ain't no excuse when it's time to change

Every pill that I had, I dumped down the drain

I'm sitting in a hotel room full of smoke

Got a bottle full of Jack and a bucket full of Coke

And my kids at the house, sitting all alone

Asking, "Where is Daddy? Is he coming home?"

And I'm getting stoned, killing time that I'll never get back

I can't press with whine

I made up my mind, this ain't for me

I put too many people through misery

I gotta clean up my act, get back to the basics

The high life you chasing, this ain't worth chasing

The company you keep, that ain't worth changing

I'm coming home, don't keep me waiting

Yeah, I wanna go home

I'm tired of this winding road

There ain't no place out here for me

There ain't no place like home

I wanna go home, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

It's hard to stay straight when

Everybody that you know is either

Popping pills or walked on dop

Lost out of touch and they out of hope

Had to end over rope or overdose

And it's too late to come back from the grave

So the time is now if you want to change

You got kids at home, and they miss your face

They would give anything just to kiss your face

No matter what you've done, you can never be replaced

You're a mommy, a daddy, a best friend too

Now give your kids someone to look up to

Someone to love, that'll tell them the truth

That'll hold them in the arms and never let them loose

That'll never turn your back after all you put them through

'Cause dreams are real, they do come true

I can promise you that, 'cause I'm living proof

I done did my dirt and I'm never proud

And I'm ashamed to say I let a lot of folks down

And two, my kids, I know daddy wasn't around

Like I should have been, but I'm here now

I got a full-time job, daddy making moves

'Bout you brand new shoes and socks for school

I got my own house and a room for you

I had to make a choice, so I'm choosing you, huh?

I wanna go home

I'm tired of this winding room

There ain't no place out here for me

There ain't no place like home

I wanna go home, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, it's a long highway, it's a long road

It's a long road

I can't keep going down this way

I'm just so lonely and cold

Heart and soul

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

Yeah

See, a lot of people told me that I'd never be shit

That I'd never make it up, at the bottom of this pit

I should probably give it up, pack it up, and just quit

But instead I realized I gotta do it for my kids

Do it for myself and do it like I never did

No time for the pain, it's time to re-bid

No fake friends, gotta cut the loose ends

I don't claim to know it all, but I get my two cents

And the truth is, people wanna see you hurting

They wanna see you falling while they thinking that they perfect

They wanna close your curtain, better know that for certain

'Cause it took a long time, but I realize I'm worth it

It feels like hell just trying to overcome

All the things that I did when I was young and I was dumb

I was trying to run from all the demons in the shadows

Way out in the smoke, talking deep up in the back roads

Off in the cut with no love inside me

The devil himself creeping up behind me

Put the pressure on me when I'm cold and lonely

But I told him, "Hold me, I'm coming home"

I've been paranoid, I can't sleep

My eyes shut, but I see

I'm wide awake, and the dreams thick

As I'm stabbing my mind, don't breathe

Had to take a journey to a distant place

Full of regrets and mistakes and all the bitter taste

Of all the hearts you break and all the lies you make

And all the times that you felt so full of hate

No heaven's gates, only hell awaits

Now you face-to-face with the one that really did it

When you open up your eyes, you'll be looking in the mirror

Mirror, mirror, mirror, mirror

You surprised yet, but I believe it's true

'Cause the one to blame is looking dead at you

And he can feel your shoes anytime, anyplace

'Cause it's really you and your hiding space

But I'm wide awake, and I can love me now

No hate in my heart, I can trust me now

So when I go to sleep, I can touch the clouds

And it's not a dream, life is lovely now

I fought my demons and erased my fears

Still taste the tears, but escaped the pill

The hate is real when they see you striving

When you hear them talk, respond with silence

Show them with actions and kill them with kindness
