I rolled back through that town
With dust on my cuffs and shoes
Same cracked paint on the porch
Same bad news in the news
The yard had grown wild green
But it still knew my name
I stood there with my hands full
And not a thing to claim
I burned every bridge
Till the smoke learned my face
Now I’m standing at your door
With the whole world in disgrace
If you look through the screen
You’ll see what I became
I’m asking like a son now
To call me by my name
I came home empty
I came home empty
Hands like a runaway
Heart full of wreckage
I came home empty
I came home empty
If there’s room for a fool
Save me a little grace
Forty miles of blacktop
For forty years too late
I traded my best days
For a locked-up gate
Your old chair by the window
Still facing the rain
I heard my mother’s silence
And it cut me again
I burned every bridge
Till the smoke learned my face
Now I’m standing at your door
With the whole world in disgrace
If you look through the screen
You’ll see what I became
I’m asking like a son now
To call me by my name
I came home empty
I came home empty
Hands like a runaway
Heart full of wreckage
I came home empty
I came home empty
If there’s room for a fool
Save me a little grace
I wore my pride like armor
Till it dragged me to the ground
All I got from running
Was the echo of a hound
If you open up that door
I’ll leave the old lies behind
I can’t give back the lost years
But I can give you mine
I came home empty
I came home empty
Hands like a runaway
Heart full of wreckage
I came home empty
I came home empty
If there’s room for a fool
Save me a little grace
I came home empty
I came home empty
Save me a little grace
