Honey I’m Coming Home by Damn Tall Buildings

You were made out of diamonds, but
You were tossed in the sand,
you ain’t Hiding from me,
though you think you can
You got me backed in the corner
You got me praying to god
Well I’m striking deals with the devil
‘Cause I don’t know who I got
Well, you left me down by the riverbed
Trying to find a place to lie my head
Remember them words that I done wish you’d said
Oh no, Oh no
Honey I’m coming home
♫♫♫
You said you ain’t lookin’ for nothin’
But you ain’t got no plans
But I don’t fit your description and
I should understand
Maybe if ‘ya write me home
With a suitcase in my hand
Maybe I’d be what you wanted
I could be your man
Well, you left me down by the riverbed
Trying to find a place to lie my head
Remember them words that I done wish you’d said
Oh no, Oh no
Honey I’m coming home
♫♫♫
You’re going back to Virginia
You’re going back down south
Said you’re tired of the weather
And you had to get out
And me, I’m off to the ocean
‘Cause that’s where I belong
There ain’t no use in staying
Now that you’re moving on
Now that you’re moving on
Well, you left me down by the riverbed
Trying to find a place to lie my head
Remember them words that I done wish you’d said?
Oh no, Oh no
Honey I’m coming home
Left me down by the riverbed
Trying to find a place to lie my head
Remember them words that I done wish you’d said?
Oh no, Oh no
Honey I’m coming home
