Well I've been down to Georgia I've seen the streets in the West I've driven down the 90, hell I've seen America's best I've been through the Rockies, I've seen Saskatoon I've driven down the highway 1 just hopin' that I'd see you soon 'Cause I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home I've never been to Alaska, but I can tell you this, I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska and hell you know it ain't worth shit I've been through Nova Scotia, Sydney to Halifax I'll never take any pictures cause I know I'll just be right back 'Cause I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home I've seen a palace in London, I've seen a castle in Wales But I'd rather wake up beside you and breathe that ol' familiar smell I never thought you could leave me, I figured I was the one But I understand your sadness so I guess I should just hold my tongue 'Cause I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home I know that we're takin' chances, you told me life was a risk But I just have one last question Will it be my heart or will it be his? I'm comin' home
