homecoming
[00:06.8][00:01.5] Vienna teng
[00:06.8][00:04.7] homecoming
[00:15.5] it's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears
[00:22.7] hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears
[00:28.8] that I was born in North Carolina
[00:33.9] not an hour from her home town
[00:37.8] and we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball
[00:45.7] and there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is
[00:51.4] we've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives
[00:58.6] where my days are strips of highway
[01:04.8] and she's wiping tables down
[01:08.5] holding on and still waiting for that windfall
[01:16.8] but I've come home
[01:23.9] even though I've never had so far to go
[01:31.7] I've come home
[01:47.8] I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill
[01:54.7] head across the street where VACANCY is burning in neon still
[02:02.6] well the night eats up my body heat
[02:06.3] and there's no sign of another
[02:09.8] and I find myself slipping down into that black
[02:18.1] but things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith
[02:25.0] I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days
[02:32.8] and I'm preaching from the pulpit
[02:37.4] to cries of a€?Amen brothera€?
[02:41.5] closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back
[02:48.7] and I've come home
[02:56.0] even though I swear I've never been so alone
[03:03.8] I've come home
[03:18.9] I just want to be living as I'm dying
[03:23.2] just like everybody here
[03:26.4] just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile
[03:34.1] and I don't know where I'm driving to
[03:38.5] but I know I'm getting old
[03:42.0] and there's a blessing in every moment every mile
[04:06.1] thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups
[04:12.8] old Gideons Bible in the nightstand drawer saying a€?Go on open upa€?
[04:20.2] well I'll kneel down on the carpet here
[04:24.8] though I never was sure of God
[04:28.5] think tonight I'll give Him the benefit of the doubt
[04:36.6] I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed
[04:43.6] her hair falling all around me
[04:47.5] I smile and shake my head
[04:51.3] well we all write our own endings
[04:55.0] and we all have our own scars
[04:59.4] but tonight I think I see what it's all about
[05:10.0] because I've come home
[05:22.7] I've come home
