John Schlitt - Take Me Home lyrics

He thought he'd make it He was ready now to take control Took his Daddy's money Took his freedom And he walked out the door Who can say what life will bring End up as a pawn or a mighty king Now you find the things you wanted Are the things that cost you your soul Your life ain't over when the money runs out Just say the words, let your spirit cry out (chorus) Take me home - I've been away so long Take me home - I can see I was wrong To keep on living like this life I live Won't cost me at all I wish I knew then what I know now 'Cause it caused me to fall There's a time when you realize There must be something better than this hollow life Sometimes the gra** it isn't greener on the other side My life ain't over - I'm just turning around I heard the word and my spirit cried out (repeat chorus) (chorus 2) Take me home (I was wrong) It's no one's fault but my own Take me home I want to go back home Go back home (bridge) I want to thank you, thank you for the second chances 'Cause every time I turn away you understand And if it wasn't for your love I'd never make it 'Cause now I stand here as a healed but broken man Your life ain't over when the money runs out Just say the words, let your spirit cry out (repeat chorus/chorus 2)
