Coming Home Is Free Lyrics

Well I left home I guess its been

Nine years to this day

If I showed my face again

I wonder what they'd say

I wonder what they'd say

Would they offer me a drink

Remember times we had

Or would they turn away and think

They'd rather hang on to the mad

Some folks they just stay mad

When I left it all behind

I was just 18

With car full of regrets

And one tank of gasoline

I had a tank of gasoline

I thought if you stayed in one place

You would never grow

There were a few hearts left to break

And some money that I owed

There was that money that I owed

I didn't have a clue

But it's coming back to me

It costs to be a fool

But coming home is free

Yea coming home is free

They say money it don't grow on trees

Or buy you happiness

But between the wall and me

It can help you find some rest

I sure wanted me some rest

I was drinking way too much

Got in a couple fights

With some friends I didn't love

From Arizona every night

They were with me every night

But they don't know where I'm from

Or how my momma sings

Or what I wanted to become

Before I wanted everything

I thought I wanted everything

I can still smell Dad's coffee cup

And Mom's old cigarettes

My sister smiling like she does

Have they forgot about me yet

Have they forgot about me yet

I didn't have a clue

But it's coming back to me

It costs to be a fool

But coming home is free

Yea coming home is free

What they don't tell you when you're young

Is one day you'll get old

And you become the one

To believe the lies that you told

All the lies that you told

Like you're too late or too far gone

You're too out of touch

And no one wants to hear you songs

Now one wants to feel your love

No one wants to feel your love

I didn't have a clue

But it's coming back to me

It costs to be a fool

But coming home is free

Yea coming home is free
