Come on Home to Yourself Songtext
von Swift Silver

Fashioned out of the mud
From the Coldwater bottoms
Grew up tall on the
Bones of my grandfathers
Who rest beneath the ground
That Panola County clay
The Mississippi River
Long time ago
Snaked its westward way

The banks can barely hold
The signs of the struggle
Who wants to walk the
Straight and narrow?
Seek not to be reborn
Behold I am the pearl
Bent, bowed, undertow, journey on
Find your way back home


It′s been a long road
Yeah, it's been a long road
I said, Come on
I said, Come on
If their answers don′t serve you
Come on home to yourself
I said, Come on
I said, Come on
If their answers don't serve you
Come on home to yourself

Heavy our feet tread
On dirt and delusion
Deep is the well we
Choose to believe in
Come rollin' thunder
Come hell or high water
Bear witness to the pain
And let the levee break
Time to cross on over

It′s been a long road
It′s been a long road
I said, Come on
I said, Come on
If their answers don't serve you
Come on home to yourself
I said, Come on
I said, Come on
If their answers don′t serve you
Come on home to yourself
