Coming Home Slow (Extended 1)

Verse 1

Rolling down that old dirt highway

Moonlight shining off my face

Suitcase heavy with the stories

From somewhere I can’t quite place

Wind in the trees sounds different

Every mile feels a world away

Tried to chase off all the memories

But some just want to stay

Harmony: Ahh, ahh, ooo

Chorus

I can’t sleep like I used to

Thoughts running hard and wild

Coming home, but something’s changed

I see my old town through different eyes

Harmony: Ooo, ooo, ooo

Verse 2

Front porch light still burning

Mama’s waiting in her chair

But I keep my voice unsteady

I left myself somewhere out there

Pre-Chorus

Every night’s a long horizon

Waiting for some peace

I’m searching for a reason

Why my restless mind won’t cease

Chorus

I can’t sleep like I used to

Thoughts running hard and wild

Coming home, but something’s changed

I see my old town through different eyes

Harmony: Ahh, ahh, ooo

Bridge

Sometimes silence feels the loudest

When the night creeps in so slow

I want to tell you all my troubles

But the words are hard to show

Verse 3

Walking through these quiet streets

Everything don’t fit the same

Old friends try to understand me

But they don’t know how I’ve changed

Pre-Chorus

I’m learning how to be patient

With the time it takes to heal

If you can, just stand beside me

Let me know this pain is real

Chorus

I can’t sleep like I used to

Thoughts running hard and wild

Coming home, but something’s changed

I see my old town through different eyes

Harmony: Ooo, ooo, ooo
