When I come home there'll be a greeting party waiting at the gate
And they'll take me in a limo to my high school football game
And I'll get a standing ovation from every person in the crowd
And they all will know my name and say "look at him now"
When I come home
When I come home
When I come home I'll finally have enough for a down payment on that house
That you've loved since I was little and that you've always dreamed about
Gonna pay it all in cash and get the deed made out to you
And Ma you'll finally have the chance to plant that garden you've been dying to
When I come home
When I come home
When I come home I'll finally give my old man a real piece of my mind
And make sure he understands that what I've earned ain't his it's mine
I'll drag his hands across the scars that I've forced to finally heal
And he'll feel just how they've faded, I'll say it's like you were never here
And when I come home, I'll finally have the guts to move on past my empathy
Because I know just where he's fragile and I'm gonna break him piece by piece
When I come home
When I come Home
When I come home I'll show up unannounced to your door
And you'll throw your arms around me and say that I'm what you've been waiting for
And I'll take you to the sunset in a car that really drives
You'll lean in close and kiss my hand "look Jack we made it out alive"
When I come home
When I come Home
