Hard Comin' Home

I never would have done if you hadn't said
never would have said if you hadn't did
never would have done if you hadn't done it to me

and the people gather 'round
lookin' for a show
where vultures circle 'round to the hangin' poles
then they drop the floor
and done you in

it's gonna be a hard one comin' home...

he's got a dirty runny nose
no shoes on his feet
askin' for some change, askin' for a treat
"hey, have you got anything for me?"
and caught up in those dark eyes starin' back at me
another pair comes, another two or three
another minute more and I'm surrounded

it's gonna be a hard one comin' home...

is it really worth all your leavin'?
to put a hold on things here you've left undone?
is it really worth all your tryin'
to find a side of life where you might belong to?

sittin' in an airport in tokyo
waitin' on the big bird that's gonna take me home
back to the arms of my friends and family
it's hard to feel at home when you're ramblin' around
it's hard to feel at home
when you're coming back around
to all those things familiar

it's gonna be a hard one comin' home...

is it really worth all your leavin'?
to put a hold on things here you've left undone?
is it really worth all your tryin'
to find a side of life where you might belong to?

I never would have done if you hadn't said
never would have said if you hadn't did
never would have done if you hadn't done it to me

it's gonna be a hard one comin' home...
