Topic: Coming Home

I heard great news that both my kids are coming for a visit this week so I wrote this for them. I think I let a little of my memories of coming home come into it too. Hope you like it.

Coming Home By Jeff Gilpin


July 16th, 2007




Intro


[D] [A] [F#m] [G] [D] [A] [G] [A]




Verse 1


I can [D]picture it so [A]clear


The [F#m]place that I hold so [G]dear


Can’t [D]wait to get back [A]there


So I’m coming [G]home[A]




Verse 2


I’m going to [D]go see my old [A]friends


Catch up and [F#m]find out where they’ve [G]been


Can’t [D]wait to see them a[A]gain


So I’m going [G]home[D]




Chorus 1


And it’ll [F#m]be just like it [G]was


I know it [F#m]will just be[A]cause


It stays the [F#m]same there yes it [G]does


And it's why I’m [A]going [D]home[A]




Verse 3


[D]Mom she’ll shed some [A]tears


Me and [F#m]dad will have some [G]beers


Sharing [D]tales of missing [A]years


When I get [G]home[A]




Verse 4



I’ll go [D]hang out with my [A]crew


See what [F#m]trouble we get in[G]to


[D]Laugh at who’s doing [A]who


When I get [G]home[D]




Chorus 2


And it’ll [F#m]be just like it [G]is


Catching [F#m]up just to remi[A]nisce


I can’t [F#m]get enough of [G]it


So I’m [A]going [D]home[A]




Verse 5


But then I’ll [D]have to say good[A]bye


I'll try [F#m]not to but still I’ll [G]cry


Saying I’ll be [D]back soon will be a [A]lie


When I’m leaving [G]home[A]




Verse 6


I'll be [D]leaving on that [A]plane


Wishing [F#m]I could re[G]main


And if I[D]could I’d go back a[A]gain


Right back [G]home[D]




Ending Chorus


Cause at [F#m]home’s where I be[G]long


It just feels [F#m]right, never [A]wrong


It was like I just [F#m]got there and now I’m [G]gone


But where ever I go I’m never [A]far from [G]home[D]

Re: Coming Home

Hi Jeff,

Wonderful news that the offspring are returning to the nest for a visit and a great song to celebrate the occasion. Well done.

Thank you

Roger

Re: Coming Home

Lovely sentiments Jets!

I drive pass my old home several times a week, and always feel sad {That Our Gang} have all moved on! I hope the new young couple have as many happy times within thoses walls, with music laughter and love as we did!

Thank you jets for the memories!

Re: Coming Home

So to catch you both up, it was a great visit. My daughter got to spend a bit more time and pal around with her mom. My son came in and we tried to cram in as much as we could. It's kind of tough the whole weekend trip that you want to do so much but it was a lot of fun to have the whole family together again. It does feel like too much is missing now like but I guess that's what empty nesters have to put up with. They liked the song and I plan on recording it next...it's kind of bluesy and I like it just because it reminds me of their visit...especially the line, "It was like I just got there and now I’m gone" . So he's back in Texas and she just crossed into Mississippi and is on her way to New Mexico where her boyfriend has a new job teaching.
