Almost made it to the state line. I was headed your way To give you a piece of my mind Because I've got a whole hell of a lot to say. I wanted to tell you How much it hurt When I finally knew That all my hopes were shattered. I wanted to scream So very many things About the pain I've endured And the losses incurred. I wanted you to feel The shame and loss and guilt I think should be forcing you to kneel And beg for forgiveness. But then I passed the sign That changed Central to Mountain time, And I realized I can't change your mind, And the words on my lips died. So turned my car around And drove the 6 hours back to town And home. And when I'd relayed What I had attempted today To a couple of friends I knew this was the start of the end Of me giving you Another thought, Another chance, Another moment of my time, Another place in my life. Do you know what they said When I finished my story? "Thank you for turning around. Thank you for coming home." And they're right, you know. I am finally home.
