Lyrics
Coming Home
Gordon West
Well I thought of you today
And as the hours passed away
I wished that I had hung around
The way we used to be
Flying high just you and me
Till I brought us crashing to the ground
Now I’m Standing by the interstate
With my thumb out in the air
Coming home
And hoping you’re still there
As the trucks go flying by
You know the wind it burns my eyes
Gives me a reason for these tears
I guess the bright lights made me blind
I never thought the would come a time
I’d find myself standing here
Now I’m Standing by the interstate
With my thumb out in the air
Coming home
And hoping you’re still there
As the miles go crawling by
Moving pictures in my mind
Show me the way things might have been
That’s why I’m Standing by the interstate
With my thumb out in the air
Coming home
And hoping you’re still there
Hoping you’re still there
I’m Coming home
