[00:16.54]It's desert ice outside but this diner has thawed my ears
[00:23.01]Hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile when the waitress hears
[00:30.33]That I was born in north carolina
[00:34.44]Not an hour from her home town
[00:38.11]And we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball
[00:45.88]And there's a glance in time suspended as I wonder how it is
[00:53.38]We've been swept up just by circumstance to where the coyote lives
[01:01.02]Where my days are strips of highway
[01:04.98]And she's wiping tables down
[01:08.78]Holding on and still waiting for that windfall
[01:16.96]But I've come home
[01:24.14]Even though I've never had so far to go
[01:31.91]I've come home
[01:48.41]I pay the check and leave the change from a crumpled ten-dollar bill
[01:54.82]Head across the street where vacancy is burning in neon still
[02:02.87]Well the night eats up my body heat
[02:06.78]And there's no sign of another
[02:10.24]And I find myself slipping down into that black
[02:19.39]But things are good I've got a lot of followers of my faith
[02:25.51]I've got a whole congregation living in my head these days
[02:33.17]And I'm preaching from the pulpit
[02:37.50]To cries of“Amen brother”
[02:41.43]Closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back
[02:49.06]And I've come home
[02:56.08]Even though I swear I've never been so alone
[03:04.06]I've come home
[03:19.12]I just want to be living as I'm dying
[03:23.52]Just like everybody here
[03:27.01]Just want to know my little flicker of time is worthwhile
[03:34.69]And I don't know where I'm driving to
[03:38.74]But I know I'm getting old
[03:42.31]And there's a blessing in every moment every mile
[04:06.14]Thin white terry bars of soap and a couple little plastic cups
[04:13.37]Old gideons bible in the nightstand drawer saying“Go on open up”
[04:21.09]Well I'll kneel down on the carpet here
[04:25.41]Though I never was sure of god
[04:29.36]Think tonight I'll give him the benefit of the doubt
[04:37.34]I switch off the lights and imagine that waitress outlined in the bed
[04:44.50]Her hair falling all around me
[04:48.85]I smile and shake my head
[04:52.29]Well we all write our own endings
[04:56.26]And we all have our own scars
[05:00.24]But tonight I think I see what it's all about
[05:08.15]Because I've come home
[05:23.59]I've come home
