Coming Home Lyrics

It’s a cold wet, December night
In your bedroom when he said goodbye
You let him go; he walked out the door saying I don’t need this baby;
I don’t need you no more
He held your hand, looked in your eyes, said little girl its gonna be alright
The boys are waiting for me outside by the van
Gotta go, gotta go, got to work it now
Darling don’t cry for me
Cause I’m coming home
Cause I’m coming home
Last night, she heard his voice
Called long distance, from way up north
He said girl, you know I think we sure are close
I think were gonna make it, when I come back home
I’ll hold your hand, look in your eyes, say little girl, it’s gonna be alright
The boys are waiting for me outside by the van
Gotta go, gotta go, got to work it now
Darling don’t cry for me
Cause I’m coming home
Cause I’m coming home
Don’t cry, don’t cry,
Darling one
Don’t cry don’t cry
Cause I don’t plan on dying
Cause I don’t plan on dying at all
The boys are waiting for me outside by the van
Gotta go, gotta go, got to work it now
Darling don’t cry for me
Cause I’m coming home
Cause I’m coming home
Darling don’t cry for me
Cause I’m coming home
Cause I’m coming …..

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I like the third person perspective obviously the author is trying to deviate from his personal story to somehting more universal, leaving home, school, specifically your girl, just makes me want to take shots of whiskey or whatever i can get my hands on.
