Lyrics
[Verse 1] You left your coat on the kitchen chair One silver button missing there The coffee went cold beside the sink I read your letter twice, then watched it sink [Verse 2] The screen door still remembers your hand It swings too far when the west winds land Your old red truck is gone from the drive But every gravel turn says you might arrive [Chorus] Come back slow, come back true I kept one light burning for you If the road has taken all you own Lay your tired heart beside my own [Verse 3] Your brother called from Baton Rouge Said you were working nights near the river blues He said you laughed when he said my name Then asked if this old house still looked the same [Chorus] Come back slow, come back true I kept one light burning for you If the road has taken all you own Lay your tired heart beside my own [Bridge] I won’t ask where the years have been I won’t count the miles beneath your skin Just bring the truth you couldn’t say And let the morning find us that way [Final Chorus] Come back slow, come back true There’s still a place here made for you If the road has taken all you own Lay your tired heart beside my own Lay your tired heart beside my own [Outro] Come back slow Come back true I’ll be here waiting I’ll be here waiting
