He Calls Home Lyrics

Well I see him everday
In that blanket that he calls home
I wonder does he know
That his family they're left alone
He says brother can you spare
Can you spare a dime
I'm down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
Said this life of mine
It gets rought at times

Now I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That his family, they're safe at home and they wonder where
As he wanders thorugh his life, he's ever searchin' for
A warm blanket on warm fields and he wanders on
And he wonders is he safe from the cold
Safe out from the cold

Well I see he left the other day
Took his blanket that he called home
Did he go for good
Or did he pass away
Well I wonder does he know
See I'm down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
Said this life of mine, it gets rough at times

And now I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That my family is safe at home
And they wonder where
As I wander through my life
Ever searchin' for
My warm blanket on warm fields as I wander on
And I wonder
Will I always helped along

I said I, I'll never know
No, no
Because I
I'll never go and yes, I
I said I wonder why, yeah
Beacause I, I
Oh now
I'll never go home
I'll never come home
Never come home
Oh won't you let me come home
'Cause I wanna home
Oh, said, oh I got...
Oh
I'll never know
Yes, I, I'll never go
No, no
Yes, I, I said I wonder why
Yeah, because
Oh, oh no, I'll never come home
I'll never come
Never come home
Home...
I wanna come home
Won't you let me come home
'Cause I wanna come home
Let me come home...

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.

This song talks about a homeless man that lead singer Kevin Martin saw all the time in his home town. You never know how life is going to turn out or what it will throw your way. The song also contains some of the questions and thoughts that Kevin had about the man. I heard this from Kevin in an interview on my local rock station a couple of months ago.
