Wanting to Come Home Lyrics
By Don Chaffer
He's flippin' through the channelslookin' for some skin
And he's wantin' something to pretend he doesn't hurt so bad inside
But the TV's leakin' all the same pain that he's got within
He feels like he's been taken for a sick and darkened ride
Later, he's talkin' to these people like they were his kin
But the only thing in common here is the beer
He feels like no one knows what's going out or coming in
And none of them are really wanting to be here
CHORUS
He says, Father, I think I'm wanting to come home
I need more than all this pain
Jesus, I been a lonely man for too long
I been too many years caught out in the rain
He had a girl he used to call his own
He was as good to her as he knew how
He loved her from top of soul to tip of bone
But she left him. She left him anyhow
BRIDGE
And he's not finding it
Not what he needs
Nothing to hold him up
To heal a soul that bleeds
