This song is about a father telling his son that if things go bad he can always come back home. His son in turns tells this to his children as they grow up and leave home, and at the end of his life he is told by his heavenly father that he can now come back home.
Lyrics
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
(copyright 2001 carl kohnen)
HE CRIED WHEN HE LEFT THE HOUSE WHERE HE WAS RAISED TO MAKE A LIFE ALL ON HIS OWN
AND HIS DAD SAID SON IF YOUR EVER AFRAID
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
I'LL BE HERE IF YOU NEED ME I'LL BE HERE WHEN YOU CALL
I'LL BE HERE IF YOUR FEELING ALONE
IF THERE'S EVER A TIME THAT YOU CAN'T FACE IT ALL
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
HE GOT MARRIED AND WORKED A JOB OUT ON THE ROAD
FOR WEEKS AT A TIME HE WAS GONE
AND THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT HIM GOING EACH DAY
WAS TO HEAR HIS WIFE SAY ON THE PHONE
I'LL BE HERE IF YOU NEED ME I'LL BE HEAR WHEN YOU CALL
I'LL BE HERE IF YOUR FEELING ALONE
IF THERE'S EVER A TIME THAT YOU CAN'T FACE IT ALL
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
HIS CHILDREN GREW UP WITH THE PASSAGE OF TIME
AND AS EACH ONE WENT OUT ON THERE OWN
HE'D ALWAYS REPEAT HIS DAD'S LOVING LINE
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
I'LL BE HERE IF YOU NEED ME I'LL BE HERE WHEN YOU CALL
I'LL BE HERE IF YOUR FEELING ALONE
IF THERE'S EVER A TIME THAT YOU CAN'T FACE IT ALL
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME.
THE YEARS WENT BY, HE CAME TO THE END
HE COULD FEEL HIS LIFE SLIPPING AWAY
AS HE CLOSED HIS EYES FOR THE VERY LAST TIME
HE HEARD HIS FATHER SAY
I'LL BE HERE IF YOU NEED ME I'LL BE HERE WHEN YOU CALL
I'LL BE HERE IF YOUR FEELING ALONE
IF THERE'S EVER A TIME THAT YOU CAN'T FACE IT ALL
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME
IF THERES EVER A TIME THAT YOU CAN'T FACE IT ALL
YOU CAN ALWAYS COME BACK HOME.
