Story behind the song
A story about a man who strays on his wife, realizes how stupid he was, and tried to change himself and make amends. I chose the name Linnea because it was my grandmother's name, and it's a very pretty name.
Lyrics
Well I can't stop movin'
Or I might just start to think
And when I can't stop thinkin'
Of you it drives me to drink
Well my heart is achin'
And my bones are tired
And I've no place left to roam
Oh my Darlin' Linnea
Won't you let me come back home
Well you taught me a lesson
When you tossed me on the street
And it took awhile to sink in
But I've got my demons beat
So I spit out my whiskey
And I swallowed my pride
And I stopped this rollin' stone
Oh my Darlin' Linnea
Won't you let me come back home
Oh a man can change
When he's been ashamed
I was a dirty stray
But I've been tamed
I've been tamed by a woman
With the purest heart
This old man's ever known
So my Darlin' Linnea
Won't you let me come back home
INSTRUMENTAL BREAK
It's been two long years
Since I tasted your sweet lips
And it feels like forever
Since I felt your fingertips
And I miss our children
And I miss your love
And I'm scared of bein' alone
Oh my Darlin' Linnea
Won't you let me come back home
Come on now darlin' it's
Time for a fresh new start
Let the love I still feel
Heal up your broken heart
I miss your laughter
And I long for you
I'm a man not made of stone
Oh my darlin Linnea
Won't you let me come back home
I threw down my bottle
And I picked up a Bible
And the grace of God has shown
My salvation waits with you
Let me come back home
