I'm Comin' Home Songtext
von David Brown

I light another smoke
And I take another toke
Another shot of whiskey
Until the bottle′s empty
Bloodshot eyes
I can't lift my weary head
And I keep talking to myself
But everything′s been said

I'm just a weary traveler
Along this winding road
And my back is overburdened
But my pace I cannot slow
The sun is burning down upon me
From the midday sky
And the sweat upon my brow
Is stinging in my eyes


I'm too hot-blooded
To feel this cold
I′m far too young
To feel this damn old
And I′ve so far
Left to roam
I'm coming home

My past is close behind me
It′s gnashing at my heels
I think I've found my sanctuary
Over one last hill
But as I stumble closer
It disappears into the sand
And I′ve gambled everything I've got
Now I have to fold my hand

And I′m down upon my knees
I can't manage one more step
And I've fought with every ounce of strength
I′m down to my last breath
And I keep scanning the horizon
Searching for my saving grace
And I pray to every god I know
To take me from this place


I′m too hot-blooded
To feel this cold
I'm far too young
To feel this damn old
And I′ve so far
Left to roam
I'm coming home

Lying torn and battered
So near my journey′s end

Quickened pulse and darkened vision
Seems only to portend
What lies beyond the misty veil
Slowly closing in
Are the pitch black Plutonian shores
Of eternal oblivion

The inexorable hand of negation
Is my only guiding force
And it seems to drag me helpless
Ever down my fateful course
So completely cowed
Is my searing palsied will
That I've nothing to arrest my slide
Towards everlasting nil

Below to say
My blood′s run cold
And in the distance
A mournful death knell tolls
And I've nowhere
Left to roam
I'm coming home
