Go Home
Finding Home: A Heartfelt Journey Through Regrets
Lyrics
I said, "Daddy, I knew I'd find you in this bar
I found my father in a bar and approached him.
And I know it's been hard, me blamin' you
I acknowledge the difficulties, blaming you for my pain over the years.
All these years for my tears"
Expressing the emotional impact through tears.
"But Daddy, I need to know what to do
I need guidance from you, despite our troubled history.
Sometimes I feel like runnin' too
Expressing a desire to escape or run away at times.
Is it worth the pain, do you have regrets?"
Asking about the worth of enduring pain and questioning regrets.
That's when he turned and said
His father turns to respond.
"Go home while there's still one to go to
Advising to go home while there's still a family waiting.
Hold on while there's someone to hold you
Suggesting to hold on as long as there's someone who cares.
Don't walk, run as fast as you can
Encouraging to move quickly, even if it means running.
Crawl if you have to while there's still a chance
Emphasizing the urgency, suggesting crawling if necessary.
'Cause leavin' don't get you nowhere
Leaving won't lead to a positive outcome.
You're just gone, go home"
Reiterating the idea of going home for a better future.
He said, "Son, just take a look around and see
Encouraging the son to evaluate his current situation.
Is this the way you want it to be
Questioning if the current lifestyle is desirable.
Night after night, hidin' from the truth
Describing a pattern of avoiding the truth every night.
Son, that's not you"
Asserting that such behavior is not the true nature of the son.
I said, "Mama still talks about you all the time
Mentioning that the mother frequently talks about the father.
And she would be so happy to find you at her door
Expressing hope that the father would be welcomed by the mother.
Yeah, that's the day we're both prayin' for"
Anticipating a positive reunion that both parents are praying for.
"Go home while there's still one to go to
Repeating the advice to go home while there's still a family to return to.
Hold on while there's someone to hold you
Reiterating the importance of holding on when someone cares.
Don't walk, run as fast as you can
Emphasizing the need to move quickly and decisively.
Crawl if you have to while there's still a chance
Suggesting crawling as a metaphor for making an effort in any way possible.
'Cause leavin' don't get you nowhere
Stressing that leaving won't lead to a positive outcome.
You're just gone, go home
Repeating the idea that leaving means being gone without a home.
Go home, go home, go home"
A final repetition of the plea to go home.
