Carved a heart in a dogwood tree

Found a song in everything

Nothing to lose and nothing to gain

Barefoot dancing in the pouring rain

Oh, Regina won’t you come back home

Done her daddy proud

Made her mamma shine

Found beauty in the night through a child’s eyes

Lit up life like a firefly

Never knowing that that fire could die

Oh no, Regina won’t you come back home

Regina won’t you come back home

She lost her way along a wandering path

She can’t get it back

She can’t get it back

It’s the wanderer who finds her soul

And lord only knows

You had a long road

Regina won’t you come back home

Regina won’t you come back home

She loved a man and he let her down

(Yeah she love him, he gave nothing)

She took an apron for a crown

(Lost her faith in real loving)

She knew a girl who lived out loud

(She was something, always laughing)

But she don’t ever come around no more

Regina won’t you come back home

(What hap-, what happened to you? What hap- What happened?)

(What hap-, what happened to you?)

Regina won’t you come back home

Time flew by (What hap-, what happened to you?), and she let it go (What hap-, What happened?)

Used to laugh (What hap-, what happened to you?), but now she don’t (What happened?)

Little girl dreams (What hap-, what happened to you?), all turned to stone go (What hap-, What happened?)

Spends all day (What hap-, what happened to you?), on the telephone

Sayin’ “no no no”

She lost her way along a wandering path

She can’t get it back

She can’t get it back

It’s the wanderer who finds her soul

And lord only knows

You had a long road

(What happened to you?)

Regina won’t you come back home

Regina won’t you come back home
