The Road Back Home
Leaving home never gets easier
And when I left, I promised you I would be fine
I didn’t know my heart would pay a heavier fine
I formed a mask to hide and found that it wouldn’t drop
But home makes me spill my fears to the very last drop
And the first time I feel safe again is in the Fall
Returning home is the only time I let all the stress fall
For I ride this new life like a crashing wave
Tumbling in sorrow when I say goodbye with a wave
Remember the tears when I first left?
After all this time, there shouldn’t be any more left
I tell you now that I hate the Texas desert
Even more so, I hate the comfort that I must desert
Leaving home never gets easier
