Karl Harvey - Postcards from Home Lyrics

I changed my shoes
And straightened the noose
Some folks will say it should have been you
I'm tired of complaining but what's the use

Cause you know I'll be
Running back home

I was standing all alone
When someone came up and said "did you go?"
They asked so polite but I didn't know
I just smiled and left my troubles gone

Cause you know I'll be
Running back home

I took off my shoes
Lay deep down and thought of you
It happens every time but still feels new
Folks all crying when they hear the news

Cause you know I'll be
Running back home
