Do you remember when I up and ran away
I turned my face and walked on down the road
‘Cause I remember it like it was yesterday
My heart was cold and hard just like a stone
And I left home
And said I won’t come back this way
I never want to see your face
There ain’t nothing you could do
To make me want to be with you
I’m happy to be on my own
It didn’t take too long for me to bottom out
The dream became a nightmare overnight
And I lost it all; man I was broken down
I burned every single bridge that was in sight
And I lost my rights
And said I won’t come back this way
I didn’t want to see your face
But after all the things I’ve done
I don’t know why I chose to run
I’m sorry that I’m on my own
Would you take me back after all I’ve done?
I wish I could come back and be your son
And so I’m coming home, my tail between my legs
I bet you never thought you’d see this day
You could say, “I told you so.” You could make me beg
Which I would gladly do if I could stay
But I hear you say
I can’t believe you’re back this way
Son, I never thought I’d see your face
Don’t you know there ain’t nothing you could do
That could make me stop loving you
I’m happy you’re not on your own
I’m happy that you’re back home
