Comin' Home Lyrics

It’s 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

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 stay

I miss old friends that I once had
Times ain’t changed and I’ll be glad when I go home
I don’t know why the thought came to me
But why I’m here I really can’t see. and now...

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 stay
Coming 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 don’t know why the thought came to me
But why I’m here I really can’t see. and now...

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 stay
Coming home to stay
Coming home to your love, mama
I’ve seen better days

Cover art for Comin' Home lyrics by Lynyrd Skynyrd

He's homesick while out touring, and is telling everyone back home that he'll be back soon, and that he misses everyone. He seems to be singing specifically to a woman, though--either a girlfriend (or wife?) or literally, his "mama". This really, I think, catches the attitude of the homesick musician perfectly.

Cover art for Comin' Home lyrics by Lynyrd Skynyrd

he's think about experiences of nearly not making it and getting scammed in one of the verses "travelling around i've had my fill of broken dreams and dirty deals."

This is one of my favorite Skynyrd songs, whitch I don't think i've ever heard played on the radio.When I hear this song to me personally I think of my years spent battling drug abuse & finally getting clean ,Coming Home.Brings tears everytime I listen to it. I want to come home.It's been so long since iv'e been away.And please.don't blame me cause i've tried.I'll be coming home soon to your love to stay. Tried so many times to Quit the dope But i've finally won the battle & i'm coming home to stay.
