[Verse] Dust on my boots, and the road’s been long Letters in my pocket, but it’s your name I know strong Through a thousand miles, there’s a place I call home Where the porch light glows, and I’m not alone [Pre-Chorus] Open the door, hear a whimper so low Eyes full of waiting, it’s the best kind of hello [Chorus] And you’re crying, my old friend, when I walk through the night Tail wagging slow, but your heart’s holding tight I’m back for the first time in what feels like forever Crying dog, you’ve been waiting, I’m here now and never Gonna leave you behind [Verse] Quiet in the corner, but your soul’s wide awake Every step closer, I swear the ground starts to shake No words needed when we find our way back In your eyes, there’s a story I’ll never forget [Pre-Chorus] Open the door, hear a whimper so low Eyes full of waiting, it’s the best kind of hello [Chorus] And you’re crying, my old friend, when I walk through the night Tail wagging slow, but your heart’s holding tight I’m back for the first time in what feels like forever Crying dog, you’ve been waiting, I’m here now and never Gonna leave you behind [Bridge] All those lonely nights, I closed my eyes to see Your faithful face, waiting right here for me No battle scar can break the bond we share In your silent tears, I find my prayer [Chorus] And you’re crying, my old friend, when I walk through the night Tail wagging slow, but your heart’s holding tight I’m back for the first time in what feels like forever Crying dog, you’ve been waiting, I’m here now and never Gonna leave you behind [Outro] Crying dog, I’m home… Never gonna leave you behind.
