Testo Coming Home

Got out before the sky turned white
Steel-toe boots and a paper cup
Truck bed rattled in the parking lot
By noon the dirt had dried me up
Sun on my neck like a warning sign
Sweat in my eyes, that long haul line
Hands like stone, back like rope
Still I watched that clock move slow One more push, one more mile
Then I'd see your front porch smile
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Leave that sun out on the road
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Where your arms already know
(Comin' home)
Trade this dust for your front door
And I don't need the day no more
Garden hose tied to the fence post
Boots by the mat, mud on the floor
You had the fan on and the window cracked
And the whole house felt like mine before
You said "sit down, you look half gone"
I laughed and I let that hard hat drop Salt on my skin, ache in my bones
But your voice pulled me back to home
One more step, one more turn
And that porch light started to burn
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Leave that sun out on the road
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Where your arms already know
(Comin' home)
Trade this dust for your front door
And I don't need the day no more
Let the tires cool in the drive
Let the screen door sing tonight
You take the weight, I'll take your hand
And I'll come back to life again
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Leave that sun out on the road
I'm comin' home, comin' home
Where your arms already know

(Comin' home)
Trade this dust for your front door
And I don't need the day no more
(Comin' home)
