Comin' Home Lyrics

John Parr Comin' Home

Headin' down this iron road
These six strings on my back
Must be twenty years or more
Since this train roared down the track

Sometimes I hear the whistle blowin'
Conductor shoutin' all aboard
But I'm rustin' in the stockyard
Said that's all I was good for

I dream I'm heading down this iron road
I dream I'm heading back
I'm building up a head of steam
And I'm burnin' up the track

I see her wavin' from her window
I'm smiling... wavin' back
I don't feel so alone

I'm comin' home
And it feels like the first time
I'm comin' home
Comin' home for the last time

Stokin' up the embers
I can see the fire rise
Every flame burnin'
Lightin' memories in her eyes
All I'm asking from you is a second chance

I'm comin' home
And it feels like the first time
I'm comin' home
See the world in a new light
I'm comin' home
See the world in a new light
I'm comin' home
