Why Come Home

WHY COME HOME

MAMA_ I’M NOT GETTING MARRIED TODAY
HE DONE DRANK OUR LIFE AWAY
WHAT’S A GIRL TO DO?

I_ I PACKED UP MY TRUCK
I COULD SEE THOSE DOGS STARIN’ AT ME
IN THE REARVIEW

HE DID NOT TRY N’ STOP ME
NO BENDED KNEE, NO HE DID NOT BEG
HE DOSEN’T NEED THE BOYS TONIGHT
CAUSE_ HE AND THE BOTTLE HAD THEIR DAY

SO TELL ME WHY_ WHY COME HOME?
WHY COME HOME? (REPEAT)

WE STOOD_ IN THAT KITCHEN DOORWAY
WITH THAT WHISKEY IN HIS HAND
HE RAISED HIS GLASS AND SAID
COME ON BACK,
WHEN YOU’RE DONE MAKIN’_ YOUR FOOL STAND!

HE DID NOT TRY N’ STOP ME
NO BENDED KNEE, NO HE DID NOT BEG
HE’S OUT DRINKIN’ WITH THE BOYS TONIGHT
AND I’M ON MY KNEES_ PRAYIN’
THAT HE’S NOT DEAD

-CHORUS-

MAMA_ GAVE BACK MY RING TODAY
WATCHED THOSE YEARS DONE DRIFT AWAY
WHAT’S A GIRL TO SAY?
SO I’VE GONE - PACKED UP MY TRUCK
GOIN’-TRY-N’ CHANGE MY LUCK_
YES_ I AM ON MY WAY__

(CHORUS)
