[Verse 1] I left with a duffel bag And a map with folded seams Past the gas sign, past the grain bins Past the yard where the dog still dreams Mama waved from the porch steps Like she knew I'd turn around Now the miles are rolling backward And my boots remember town [Pre-Chorus] I can smell that Sunday bread From a block I haven't seen Hear the screen door knock my name Like it never left me clean [Chorus] I'm coming home I'm coming home (home) Back to cedar road Where the old creek runs I'm coming home I'm coming home (home) To the fire in the glass And the place I was from [Verse 2] There's a red truck by the mailbox Same dent in the left-side bed A kid swings high on a tire rope Where the clothesline used to hang Old Mr. Pike by the feed store Leans and grins through his chin Says, "Boy, you took the long way But you made it back again" [Pre-Chorus] I can hear the loons at dusk Over Marvin's hayfield pond Every broken road I crossed Led me where I belong [Chorus] I'm coming home I'm coming home (home) Back to cedar road Where the old creek runs I'm coming home I'm coming home (home) To the fire in the glass And the place I was from [Bridge] I chased the world like a runaway spark Burned my hands on every line But the porch light kept a promise That it never changed its mind [Chorus] I'm coming home I'm coming home (home) Back to cedar road Where the old creek runs I'm coming home I'm coming home (home) To the fire in the glass And the place I was from [Outro] Lay my bag by the doorway Let the screen door sing I'm home, I'm home (home) And the whole yard starts to breathe
