lyrics

You’ve been breathing retribution for so very long.
Paid the price for things you did when you were living wrong.
Don’t imagine it’s easy doing hard time
when you got family out here waiting on the sideline.

When you were young you acted crazy like a Frankenstein.
Had no self-control, just wild and blind
But we can see your maturity. You got some college, found God,
Now you’re teaching GED


There will surely come a day
When you will hear your family say
Welcome home. Welcome home. Welcome home.

Don’t matter how the world will change
Our love for you will stay the same.
Welcome home. Welcome home. Welcome home.

We celebrate the holidays every year,
Christmas, New Years, Birthdays, Anniversaries.
None of it’s the same
when you’re not here.

See you on a visit. Hear your voice on a cell phone.
Cards and letters say, “We miss you, when you comin’ home?”
Don’t imagine that it’s easy doing hard time
When you got family out here waiting on the sideline.
