Well, I've been down to Georgia
I've seen the streets in the West
I've driven down the 90
Hell I've seen America's best
I've been through the Rockies
I've seen Saskatoon
I've driven down the highway 1 
Just hopin' that I'd see you soon

'Cause I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home

I've never been to Alaska
But I can tell you this
I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska 
And hell you know it ain't worth shit
I've been through Nova Scotia
Sydney to Halifax
I'll never take any pictures 
'Cause I know I'll just be right back

'Cause I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home

I've seen a palace in London
I've seen a castle in Wales
But I'd rather wake up beside you 
And breathe that ol' familiar smell
I never thought you could leave me
I figured I was the one
But I understand your sadness 
So I guess I should just hold my tongue

But I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home

I know that we're takin' chances
You told me life was a risk
I just have one last question
Will it be my heart or will it be his?

'Cause I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
