Lyrics
Tomorrow (I'm coming home)
Intro
I'm coming, I'm coming.
I'm coming home.
(repeat 2x)
Chorus
I'm coming home for tomorrow.
I hope you got some room for this old friend.
Can you get to know me again?
I'm coming home for tomorrow.
While we've got a few simple moments, can you get to know me again?
(repeat 3x)
Verse I
When her money got tight, she scrounged to get dough.
Life slowed down just a little bit more.
'Cause now she found out there's a little one close.
Trying to climb out and thrive on this globe.
Where this road goes?
Nobody knows.
Woman and man but the man's not home.
The kid's got a father but a not a dad.
He washed his hands of it and made some new plans.
Now mom has to be so strong.
Two jobs, working all day long.
Raised her son right while she's working nights.
They don't settle for just the norm.
Now he's a college boy.
Frats stomping, make some noise.
24 hours, 7 days
but still called mom on the phone to say...
Chorus
Verse II
Now hut (hut) one, two, three, four.
School days are over, gotta go to war.
Mom can't stomach how it's going for him.
He don't rap or sing but he's going on tour.
Shooting, ducking, human hunting.
Dig a trench. Get used to running.
He don't know what he came here for.
They told him he was saving us. (sure)
Stop lossed on the day mom thought he was safely returning.
They said no.
Bombs shot off and grazed by his arm hit is face.
Now the army is letting him go.
Back, back home in the U.S.A.
Put a big smile on your face.
On the way to get one more shot at a normal start.
Called up mom pouring out his heart like...
Chorus
Verse III
Time is her worst enemy,
'cause the cancer advances at a quick speed.
Doctors said six months but she's
Still got a love for life.
It ain't leave.
No family but her son's overseas.
Trying to make it back before he's got to grieve.
Trade his life to see his mom breathe.
One more time, then rest in peace.
Something came up, now he can't come home.
Just in case, she tries to hold on.
She's got faith and
Asked God to wait to see her son's face the last time she wakes...
Up to this world and looked at the sky.
It ain't all bad once you open your eyes.
Her son made it home back just in time from the army to hear her die,
Singing...
Chorus
Bridge
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
Now baby, I'm coming home for tomorrow.
I'm coming home.
I'm coming home.
Do you still feel the same way baby?
