I wrote the lyrics to it from memory, and mailed them home to Sigette
with my "short-timer's calendar" when I was at sea and got under
100 days left on my navy hitch. We were married less than a year.
Comin' Home
(Allen Collins & Ronnie VanZant)
Its been so long since I've been gone;
Another day might be too long for me...
Traveling around I've had my fill;
Of broken dreams and dirty deals...
A concrete jungle surrounding me;
Many nights I've slept out in the streets...
I paid my dues and I changed my style
Seen hard times - all over now...
Woman...
(Chorus)
I want to come home/Its been so long since I've been away
And please/dont blame me cause Ive tried
I'll be coming home soon to your love...
To staaaaaaaaay.....
I miss old friends that I once had;
Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I...
Go home...
I dont know why the thought came to me;
But why I'm here I really can't see...
And now...
Oh woman...
I want to come home/Its been so long since I've been away
And please/Dont blame me cause I've tried
I'll be coming home soon to your love...
To staaaaay/Comin' home to stay
Coming home to your love, mama/I've seen better days
I miss old friends that I once had;
Times ain't changed and I'll be glad when I....
Go home...
I dont know why the thought came to me;
But why I'm here I really can't see...
And nowwww...wo-man:
I want to come home/It's been so long since I've been away
And please/Don't blame me cause I've tried
I'll be coming home soon to your love...
To staaaay...
Comin' home to stay...
Comin' home to your love, mama
I've seen better days.
She keeps them still to this day, and I have to sing it to her upon request.
