Dustin Kensrue - Please Come Home

Well I woke one morning
Found you staring down at me
You said "I'll take my share now, father please"
And you took your money
And you took your leave
You drilled my heart and turned your back on me

And you hit the town
And you hit the bottle hard
You race 'round in your fancy cars
And you blow all your money
On brothels, beds, and bars
And before you know your broken times get hard

I still stand here waiting
With my eyes fixed on the road
And I fight back tears and I wonder
If you're ever coming home
Don't you know son that I love you
And I don't care where you've been
So please come home

And now you've hit bottom
All those open doors have shut
And your hungry stomach's tied in knots
But I know what you're thinking
That you've troubled me enough
Nothing could ever separate you from my love

I still stand here waiting
With my eyes fixed on the road
And I fight back tears and I wonder
If you're ever coming home
Don't you know son that I love you
And I don't care where you've been
Yes and I'll be right here waiting
'Til you come around the bend
And I run to you and hold you close
Won't let go again
So please come home
Please come home...

Don't you know son that I love you
And I don't care where you've been
So please come home

Just a correction the passage is Luke 15:24 not Matthew 15:24

@Sandalio92 - whoops! Thanks!

Nice to hear a real song about the Father's love.

i prefer 'pistol', but this is still amazing as well

@CameronIsGodless Every song has any meaning you can find within its words. I'm not a religious person, but I still love Dustin's songwriting. Though inspired by his faith, it also reflects much of my own beliefs and values. That's the art of writing truly moving and inspiring lyrics :-)

I definitely just spent an hour looking for this because I'm positive Thrice sings it. Goshhhhhhhh >:/

[buddaman1971]

nice tune. very Ryan Adams-esque, but that's not necessarily a bad thing :)

[CameronIsGodless]

Just realized the religious reference behind this. Curious if there is a literal "father" meaning behind this as well. Really universal song. Love it.

[AmyStevens89]

Love this song, reall hits home for me.. Father's love their children too..

@Switchfeet360 Not underrated, There a band with a GREAT amount of fans I'm tired of every person thinking every band is underrated. If you say they got talent and over 200,000 different people say the same as you. That's not underrated If they get on the radio, get interviewed, tour across the country and then out and pack a reasonable headcount at concerts, not underrated.

Dustin and Thrice as a whole are one of the few musicians alive with true talent.
