Come Home

We are the friends that you left behind

You need us, Joe

And we need you

We can bring happiness and peace to your mind

We want you, Joe

We want you to come

Come home

Come home, come home

Where the brown birds fly

Through a pale blue sky

To a tall, green tree

There is no finer sight

For a man to see

Come home, Joe

Come home

Come home and lie

By a laughing spring

Where the breezes sing

And caress your ear

There is no sweeter sound

For a man to hear

Come home, Joe

Come home

You will find a world of honest friends who miss you

You will shake the hands of men whose hands are strong

And when all their wives and kids run up and kiss you

You will know that you are back where you belong

You'll know you're back

Where there's work to do

Where there's love for you

For the love you give

There is no better life

For a man to live

Come home, Joe

Come home

Come home, son

Come home
