Chorus
I've been gone for such a long time
I've been gone for such a long time
Well maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home
Well maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home

Verse
Lara buries her face beneath her blue stained sheets
Don't want no one to watch her or hold while she's asleep
She dreams of those filthy hands that stole her youth away
Nine years old is to young and a price to big for her to pay

Chorus
Well maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home
Well maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home

Verse
Whiskey and my coffee help me through each new day
But I ain't a drunk and don't you ever treat me that way
With scars up and down my back and bruises on my leg
How could you know, you will never know

Chorus
And I said maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home
Well maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home

Verse
Maybe I went some places that I never should have been
Made few bad choices, messed around with a few band men
Maybe I told myself something’s the things that I said to do
Well than maybe I wouldn't be right here with you

Chorus
And I said maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home
Well maybe, but I'll soon be coming back home
