School came to a end She couldn't wait to spread her wings Barley come of age Tears welled in her eyes She mumbled with goodbyes Momma held her young head in her hands Whispered: "Baby, someday you'll understand, that life will bring you home." She grew up quick In a place she didn't fit It broke her heart a dozen times Saw a good friend die When they got a little too high It coulda been her that crossed that line But lately all she can think about Is how she left behind What she can't live without Life takes care of you, life takes care of me It sometimes lets you down, what goes will come around Faith will ease the pain Drive you through the rain, on that long and lonely road Life will bring you home Feeling 18 again With her old and new friends Guess one was right, all along And her high school fling He said she hadn't changed He said he always knew she'd come back home Yeah, I always knew you would come back home Life takes care of you, life takes care of me It sometimes lets you down, what goes will come around Faith will ease the pain drive you through the rain on that long and lonely road, life will bring you home. x2
