lyrics

You’ve been riding
Working your body on down ‘til your mind lets go
You’ve been drinkin’ every night
You’re trying your best to make it right
It’s the only thing that makes you feel half alright

CHORUS
I know that you can’t come home
I know that you can’t come home
I know that you can’t come home until you know
Where you belong

They threw your body
On the gears of the war machine and it was rumbling
You lost yourself out on that road
You come on home and you’re all full of holes
You try and patch it up, but it just don’t hold

CHORUS

I’ll hold you tighter
At night I can feel your heart and it’s slipping away
We tried to build a home and I sure hoped you’d stay
But that look in your eyes, I can tell you’re miles away
And I’ll be working on this love until my dying day

CHORUS
