"Coming Home" lyrics

Thought I heard my brother call my name
Said, "Boy, won't you come back home?"
I thought heard my mother say again
"Boy, don't step into things that you don't know"

Now I'm so far away from who I used to be
This way of living, it just ain't no good for me, yeah

I'm coming home
Back to the place that I call my own
I'm coming home
And I don't know why I stay gone so long

My father said, "Son, don't forget to pray
'Cause you know there will come a day
When this old world turns against you
You better have a plan to make your way"

And I'm so far away from who I used to be
This way of living, it just ain't no good for me, yeah

Coming home
Back to the place that I call my own
I'm coming home
And I don't know why I stay gone so long

I'm coming home
Back to the place that I call my own
Good Lord, I'm coming home
And I don't know why I stay gone so long, I stay gone so long

I'm coming home
Back to the place that I call my own
Yeah, I'm coming home
And Mama, I don't know why I stay gone so long, I stay gone so long
