Life Will Bring You Home

School came to a end
She couldn't wait to spread her wings
Barley come of age
Tears welled in her eyes
She mumbled with goodbyes
Momma held her young head in her hands
Whispered: "Baby, someday you'll understand, that life will bring you home."

She grew up quick
In a place she didn't fit
It broke her heart a dozen times
Saw a good friend die
When they got a little too high
It coulda been her that crossed that line
But lately all she can think about

Is how she left behind
What she can't live without

Life takes care of you, life takes care of me
It sometimes lets you down, what goes will come around
Faith will ease the pain
Drive you through the rain, on that long and lonely road
Life will bring you home

Feeling 18 again
With her old and new friends
Guess one was right, all along
And her high school fling
He said she hadn't changed
He said he always knew she'd come back home
Yeah, I always knew you would come back home

Life takes care of you, life takes care of me
It sometimes lets you down, what goes will come around
Faith will ease the pain drive you through the rain on that long and lonely road, life will bring you home. x2
