Comin' Home

Words and Music by Bob Seger

 

Passed the old church on the edge of town

Trailways bus was right on time

Passed your uncle's store on main street

His old truck was parked outside

Everything seemed so much larger then

This old town has hardly grown

Has it really been ten long years

Now you're finally comin' home

 

Comin' home

You've been gone so very long

Comin' home

You'll just say you're comin' home

 

You left your hometown for the city lights

You were young and you were strong

Lots of traffic lots of sleepless nights

Lots of dreams that all went wrong

You'll just tell them what they want to hear

How you took the place by storm

You won't tell them how you lost it all

You'll just say you're comin' home

 

Comin' home

You grew tired of being alone

Comin' home

You'll just say you're comin' home
