Coming Home Blues

COMING HOME BLUES
© 2008 John Pippus….SOCAN

There’s a change in the weather
A change in the sea
I don’t love you baby
How come you still love me?
I got a new direction
Gonna find another scene
When the dust has settled
You’ll be glad I told the truth
I didn’t waste your time
Holding back the news
I didn’t try to obfuscate
On someone else’s dime
So I’ll just say bye-bye
I’m gone

You want me to save you
But I can’t save myself
I like getting loaded
With whatever’s on the shelf
I need some protection
I need another plan
Darling now you look so good
In that slinky dress
Sitting here so close to me
Your hair a perfect mess
I love it when you talk like that
I hate to see you pout
But I got to say bye-bye
I’m out

Sitting in this basement room
My mind’s in overdrive
I was a little hasty
I miss you at my side
I’m coming home now
Will you take me back?
I wanna wake up in the morning
And see you lying there
I wanna taste your jelly roll
It’s the best I swear
I wanna smell your sweet perfume
And give you what you need
I’ll never say good bye
I’m home
I’m coming home now.
I’m coming home
