its alright, it’s ok you have time to run
it’s alright, it’s ok, you’ll come back when you’re done
spinning wheels, catching smiles
pockets full and tired
it’s alright, it’s ok
to come back broken

it’s alright, it’s ok
to have dirty feet from the road
and it’s alright, it’s ok to come back heavy and unload
spinning wheels can wear you down
before you know what hit ya
it’s alright, when you come home
to come back broken

chorus:
take yourself as you are, the foolish child, the hungry student
the traveler wandering too far
it’s so good that you can do this
and you know you have a place to come home to, you know you do
it’s alright to come back broken

and you know i love you
you know there’s no question
you know i will be here when you come back home
and you know i miss you
you know no matter how far away you go,
i will be here when you feel alone

it’s alright, it’s ok that you struggle with the unknown
and it’s alright, it’s ok if for a while you let me go
spinning wheels can wear you down, don’t forget i miss you
it’s alright when you come home
to come back broken

chorus
