[Verse 1] I left with dust on my boots And your name in my coat The fields bent low in the moon Like they knew where I'd go Three towns passed in the rain And a train line split the dark But I kept your ember close Burning under my heart [Pre-Chorus] Now the river bends again And I see that old white gate I can taste the supper steam I can hear you say my name Oh, I was gone too long But I'm coming back to you [Chorus] I'm on my way home (way home, way home) I'm on my way home (to your arms, to your door) Take my tired hands Take this restless flame I'm on my way home And I'm yours the same [Verse 2] Your porch light paints the fence On the edge of the yard I can smell the cedar smoke Drifting out through the stars Every mile I wore your kiss Like a ring against my skin Now I'm at the last dirt road And I'm breathing you in [Pre-Chorus] Now the river bends again And I see that old white gate I can taste the supper steam I can hear you say my name Oh, I was gone too long But I'm coming back to you [Chorus] I'm on my way home (way home, way home) I'm on my way home (to your arms, to your door) Take my tired hands Take this restless flame I'm on my way home And I'm yours the same [Bridge] If the night had pulled me under If the road had made me less You were the rope I held to You were mercy in a dress So let the rain keep falling Let the whole wide world stand still I've crossed every lonely mile Just to climb your hill [Final Chorus] I'm on my way home (way home, way home) I'm on my way home (to your arms, to your door) Take my tired hands Take this restless flame I'm on my way home And I'm yours the same I'm on my way home (way home, way home) I'm on my way home And I'll stay this time
