I've walked through the sunshine in the country
Staggered under lonely neon lights
Held a bible in my hands on Sunday morning
A midnight angel in my arms on Monday night

I've been a lot of places and I wonder
Where the road that I was headed down turned wrong
But through it all a small voice always whispered
Son come home You're welcome here you've been away too long
(I guess)

Chorus:

Everyone's got lessons for the learning
Different ways of seeing wrong and right
Deep in every drifter there's a longing to come home
Somewhere a drifter's coming home tonight

The good book tells the story of a seeker
Who lived the good life till it let him down
He expected nothing in the way of welcome
When he headed for his father's house and found

Somebody running down the road to meet him
In the distance he could hear a happy song
Then he felt those old familiar arms around him saying Son
Welcome home you've been away too long
(I know)

Repeat chorus and out
