Lyrics
Why Can't I Come Home
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I could find the strenght I need to do the thing I should
I just walk on out that door be rid of you for good
But a man ain't always strong enough to tell himself that he's been wrong
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone
If I had only known the thoughts that went on in your mind
Then I could have left you to the others of your kind
I know that I should leave you now but I just ain't that strong
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone
I cried things you do me that make me live in shame
Everybody knows how loosly you have worn my name
I guess I have more love and pride even thougg my love's all wrong
Why can't I just come home one night and you'd be gone
