Come Home Tonight

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I built my walls up high and strong, Made all the rules of right and wrong. No borrowed hearts, no far-off towns, No second chance to let me down. But years ago I told my mom, I dreamed of a man like you someday, Jay. [Chorus] So I came home to you, The one I swore I'd never do. Turns out the safest thing I've known Is building all my dreams with you alone. Jay, you proved me wrong somehow, And I thank the Lord for you right now. [Verse 2] Mom heard your name at Red Lobster's door, And told you the words I'd said before. A pageant call, then one phone line, Aruba skies, your hand in mine. We got certified beneath the sea, On the flight home you wrote of you and me. [Chorus] So I came home to you, The one I swore I'd never do. Turns out the safest thing I've known Is building all my dreams with you alone. Jay, you proved me wrong somehow, And I thank the Lord for you right now. [Bridge] Twenty-one years, still steady and true, Your baby blue eyes, your faith shining through. Provider, protector, father, friend, You put our family first until the end. Kennedy, Remi, and Channing grew, Calm to my storm, that's you. [Verse 3] Bird dogs on point, Kingland in the moonlight, Red Raider games and sweet bets every night. "I won — on the 52!" I cried, Forgot the field ends at the fifty line. You love me still, burnt dinners and all, The perfect one to catch my fall. [Outro] So here's to us, and all we've grown, The sweetest love I've ever known.
