Me I went back home, oh and I made it just in time To say sorry for what I'd done, right before my mother died Now I drive a truck, just like I swore I never would But I need the money worse than I need the luck I know my old man did just the best that he could with what he had It's funny the things we finally learn how to ... We were just runaway children, lost in the dark Trying to forget where we came from, oh but we never made, never made it that far Never made it that far Oh it's still so hard
