Better Get Home ft. AJ Kross Lyrics

I was living far away from home

Tryin' to figure life out on my own

And forget the years I fought with my old man

Putting miles between all him and me

Used to talk about, and disagree

And my dreams I thought he'd never understand.

So I popped the clutch and headed west

Found a sweetheart, we had lots of kids

Got a job and made more money than we spent.

But the longer that I stayed away

Made it harder to go back again

Try to fix things, maybe try to make amends.

Then the phone starts ringin' Sunday night

So I picked it up and walked outside

I remember every word my momma said:

You better get home

They've started to gather

This cross that you bear

Just doesn't matter, and

And you've missed so much

It's time to let it go.

We'll share a few tears

You'll hear some laughter.

But try to be quick

Cause time moves faster.

Years of being right have left you all alone, so

you'd

Better get home.

As I dropped the phone and looked around

All the walls I built came tumblin' down

When I heard his days were coming to an end.

So I ran inside and packed my bag

Realized that time's not on my side

But if I leave now I can get back home again.

If I held his hand, and stroked his cheek

I could clear the air, and bring him peace

Or we could just sit there, together, and so I....

Better get home

They've started to gather

This cross that I bear

Just doesn't matter, and

I've missed so much

It's time to let it go.

We'll share a few tears

You'll hear some laughter.

I'll try to be quick

But time moves faster.

Years of being right have left me all alone.

So I better get home.

Better Get Home

I Better Get Home

Better Get Home.

If I held his hand, and stroked his cheek

I could clear the air, maybe bring him peace

Or we could just sit there, together, and so I'll . . .

Share a few tears

And hear some laughter.

I'll try to be quick

But time moves faster.

Years of being right have left me all alone, so I

Better get home.
