Vienna Teng - Homecoming

^Fit's desert ^Fice outside but this d^Finer has thawed my e^Fars hot c^Foffee in a c^Flean white mug and a ^Fsmile when the waitress h^Gears that I was ^Amborn in North Caro - ^Flina not an h^Four from her home town and we u^Fsed to play the same p^Fizza parlor pin - b^Gall

^Fand there's a g^Flance in time sus - ^Fpended as I w^Fonder how it is ^Fwe've been swept up just by c^Fircumstance to w^Fhere the coyote l^Gives where my d^Amays are strips of h^Fighway and she's w^Fiping tables down ^Fholding on and still w^Faiting for that w^Gindfall

but I've ^F come^F home ^{F F}even though I've never ^Fhad so far to ^Fgo ^{G F}I've ^F come h^Fome

^FI pay the check and l^Feave the change from a c^Frumpled ten-dollar bill head across the street where ^FVACANCY is b^Furning in neon s^Gtill well the ^Amnight eats up my b^Fody heat and there's ^Fno sign of another and I f^Find myself slipping d^Fown into that b^Glack

^Fbut things are g^Food I've got a lot of f^Followers of my f^Faith I've got a whole congre - g^Fation living ^Fin my head these d^Gays and I'm p^Amreaching from the p^Fulpit to ^Fcries of &qu^Fot;Amen brother" ^Fclosing my eyes to f^Feel the warmth come b^Gack

^Fand I^F've ^F come h^Fome ^G even t^Fhough I swear I've n^Fever been so a^Flone ^{G F}I've ^F come h^Fome

I^F just want to be l^Amiving as I'm d^Fying just like e^Fverybody here just want to know my little f^Flicker of time is worth - w^Fhile and I d^Amon't know where I'm dr^Fiving to but I k^Fnow I'm getting old and there's a b^Flessing in every ^Fmoment every m^Gile

^Fthin white t^Ferry bars of soap and a c^Fouple little plastic cups ^Fold Gideons Bible in the n^Fightstand drawer saying &^Fquot;Go on ^Gopen up" well I'll k^Amneel down on the c^Farpet here though I n^Fever was sure of G^Fod think to - n^Fight I'll give Him the b^Fenefit of the d^Goubt

^FI switch off the lights and i^Fmagine that waitress o^Futlined in the bed ^Fher hair falling all a - r^Found me I smile ^Fand shake my head ^G well we ^Amall write our own e^Fndings and we a^Fll have our own scars but to - n^Fight I think I s^Fee what it's all a - b^Gout

^Fbecause I^F've ^F come h^Fome ^{G F}I've ^F come h^Fome
