Daddy is blowing leaves around the lawn He's laughing and joking humming funny songs He's saying you gotta stand for something child His heart is wide open when he looks me in the eyes And he says when the weight of the world is on your shoulders The rope is getting thin, run for the hills lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home, home, home Where I started from home, home, home Before the weight of the world Turns my heart to stone
Mama is holding tomatoes in the yard Her hair is all golden and her soul's a superstar She's dancing to billies you gotta find your way She keeps saying don't worry I'll love you anyway Then she says if you ever feel that you don't matter Or your best ain't good enough, run for the hills lay down in the water
But I just wanna come home, home, home Where I started from home, home, home Before the weight of the world Turns my heart to stone
I was so lucky as anyone could ever be My love is long and deeper than the sea No I never said it and I hope you will forgive Cause I thank you both for showing me how to live If the weight of the world should leave you tired Abandoned and stoned I will be there I am your daughter
I'm coming home, home, home I'm coming home, home, home Yeah I'm coming home Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world Yeah I'm coming home Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world Yeah I'm coming home Before the weight of the world, before the weight of the world I'm coming home Yeah, I'm coming home
