Going Back Home

On the corner
Of the outskirts of Dallas
Regretting where she'd been
On the phone trying to call Houston
No answer there again
She left a message this time
There's something
I want you to know
I'm sorry please tell daddy
I'm coming home

Going back home
Going back home
Going back home

In the back of a greyhound bus
Remembering that night
The last words he said to her
After they had a fight
He told her to leave
You were always born to run
Now she's running back to daddy's house
To get forgiveness for what she's done

Going back home
Going back home
Going back home

She stopped there at the end of the drive
Afraid that it had been too long
She saw him running
With his arms open wide
Saying
Baby girl welcome home

Going back home
Going back home
Going back home
