The Corner Torn

Verse 1

Daddy taught me how to drive on a gravel road

Back when the summer felt like it would never end

I held that wheel like a religion

Told him I'd never leave this town

Pre-Chorus

But the map in my glovebox

Had a corner torn

And I followed that tear

Chorus

I'm still coming home

I'm still coming home

Every wrong turn taught me something true

I'm still coming home to you

Verse 2

Mama kept a jar of quarters by the door

For the phone calls I never made enough

I got good at saying sorry

Got worse at staying put

Pre-Chorus

And the miles stacked up

Like unpaid debts

I paid them all in time

Chorus

I'm still coming home

I'm still coming home

Every wrong turn taught me something true

I'm still coming home to you

Bridge

Tell me the porch light's on

Tell me the dog still barks at cars

Tell me you saved my chair

Tell me you waited

Chorus

I'm still coming home

I'm still coming home

Every wrong turn taught me something true

I'm still coming home to you

Coming home to you
