Lyrics Come On Home - Adam Brand

I was walking down the highway
My thumb out in the air
I'd argued with my father
And thought he didn't care
It was cold and I was angry
As I cursed his name that day
When a car pulled up beside me
And I heard my father say

"Come on home, oh come on home
I can't bear the thought of you
Out here on your own
It doesn't really matter
Who was right or who was wrong"
With tears in his eyes he said "Please son
Come on home"

She heard me say "It's over
I can't do this anymore"
Then I packed up my suitcase
And walked on out the door
A few days later from a phone booth
I called and through my pain
Said "I know I don't deserve it
But will you take me back again"

"Come on home, oh come on home
I can't bear the thought of you
You're out there all alone
It doesn't really matter
Who was right or who was wrong
Don't say a word, hang up the phone
Come on home"

My pop's been gone a while now
And my nan, she's grown old
And I was with her when she spoke her final words
She firmly held my hand
And then gently let it go
As she left to be with Grandpa
I swore I thought I heard

"Come on home
Well, come on home
I can't bear the thought of you
Out there on your own
I've been waiting for you
And your time has finally come
Now you'll never have to be alone
Come on home"
