lyrics
Never was a Martyr, Never was a saint,
I always paid my dues even if I paid them late,
Can't say if the reasons would justify the cost.
When you've had two in the hand, then you know just what you lost
I let it go
Always knew what's wrong, always knew what''s right
God knows ,I've had it backwards, more then once or twice
The only thing that's in my life that's never let me down,
Was following the road, that led me to Shakedown, I should have known
And I'm wondrin' if I've ever done one thing worth tying to save,
If you happen down this road, leave a flower on my grave,
It just might grow
Cause' I'm coming home
What was the point of it a life that made no sense,
I was drug before the judge and had to plead my own defense
Times when I was so tired I left it all to chance
Thought I saw the answer, but I only caught a glance
Rain never flows
And I'm sorry if my father feels I always let him down,
Sorry to my son, for never being around, but now he knows
Cause' I'm coming home
Caught between decisions and feeling like your trapped
And the things that seemed familiar are just shadows of your past,
So many times I've felt like inside there's nothing left
They say a fool and his money, well..I guess you know the rest
Nothing to show
But I've been standing at the crossroads for all my life and found
That the words that tell my story are etched on Hallowed ground
And into stone
Cause I'm coming home"
