Home Bound Tonight

Lyrics

Verse 1
Sun on the porch step, paint chipped white
Mama left a plate out, still warm by night
Phone on silent, no new lines
Just my breath and the screen glow dying out
If I went too far, I made my own bed
Heard that old screen door in my head
Got dust on my boots and weight in my chest
Tried to run from it all, but I know best

Pre-Chorus
I been carryin' storms in my ribs
Tryna act tough, but I feel every grip
If the sky comes down, let it come down slow
I ain't scared of the end, I just need y'all to know

Chorus
If I die today
Just know I'm at peace
If I die today
I'm home bound, I breathe
Home bound, home bound
Let my worries go
Home bound, home bound
Back to the road I know

Verse 2
Granddaddy taught me, keep your word tight
Never let a fake smile fool your eye
I wore my scars like a second skin
Made peace with the hurt that I kept tucked in
There's a cracked screen sky over the cotton field
And a tired old heart that still wants to heal
If the last thing I say don't make the page
Know I loved hard, and I fought my rage

Pre-Chorus
I been carryin' storms in my ribs
Tryna act tough, but I feel every grip
If the sky comes down, let it come down slow
I ain't scared of the end, I just need y'all to know

Chorus
If I die today
Just know I'm at peace
If I die today
I'm home bound, I breathe
Home bound, home bound
Let my worries go
Home bound, home bound
Back to the road I know

Bridge
Tell my brother keep the truck lined up
Tell my mama I was tryin' my best, was tough
No more midnight fights with my own mind
No more draggin' this chain through borrowed time
If the door swings open and my name gets called
I won't curse the dark, I won't fight the fall
I'll leave with a grin and a tired goodbye
'Cause home bound feel right when I close my eyes

Chorus
If I die today
Just know I'm at peace
If I die today
I'm home bound, I breathe
Home bound, home bound
Let my worries go
Home bound, home bound
Back to the road I know
