| [00:08.440] | It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears |
| [00:14.910] | Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears |
| [00:22.230] | That I was born in north carolina |
| [00:26.340] | Not an hour from her home town |
| [00:30.010] | And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball |
| [00:37.780] | And there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is |
| [00:45.280] | We've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives |
| [00:52.920] | Where my days are strips of highway |
| [00:56.880] | And she's wiping tables down |
| [01:00.680] | Holding on and still waiting for that windfall |
| [01:08.860] | But I've come home |
| [01:16.040] | Even though I've never had so far to go |
| [01:23.810] | I've come home |
| [01:39.410] | I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill |
| [01:44.620] | Head across the street where vacancy is burning in neon still |
| [01:51.770] | Well the night eats up my body heat |
| [01:55.380] | And there's no sign of another |
| [01:58.840] | And I find myself slipping down into that black |
| [02:06.490] | But things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith |
| [02:12.610] | I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days |
| [02:20.270] | And I'm preaching from the pulpit |
| [02:24.600] | To cries of“Amen brother” |
| [02:27.630] | Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back |
| [02:32.560] | And I've come home |
| [02:38.980] | Even though I swear I've never been so alone |
| [02:46.960] | I've come home |
| [03:02.020] | I just want to be living as I'm dying |
| [03:06.420] | Just like everybody here |
| [03:09.910] | Just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile |
| [03:17.590] | And I don't know where I'm driving to |
| [03:21.640] | But I know I'm getting old |
| [03:25.210] | And there's a blessing in every moment every mile |
| [03:49.040] | Thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups |
| [03:56.270] | Old gideons bible in the nightstand drawer saying“Go on open up” |
| [04:03.990] | Well I'll kneel down on the carpet here |
| [04:08.310] | Though I never was sure of god |
| [04:12.260] | Think tonight I'll give him the benefit of the doubt |
| [04:20.240] | I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed |
| [04:27.400] | Her hair falling all around me |
| [04:31.750] | I smile and shake my head |
| [04:35.190] | Well we all write our own endings |
| [04:39.160] | And we all have our own scars |
| [04:43.140] | But tonight I think I see what it's all about |
| [04:51.050] | Because I've come home |
| [05:06.490] | I've come home |
