This is for anyone that left home to chase their dreams and, at some point in time, find themselves reminiscing about everything they left behind. I wrote this when I was doing just that. A bottle of tequila may have helped that night!

YOU’LL COME BACK...... Eric Lamb
Long ago I left home for the big city...
In hot pursuit of that honky tonk dream...
I told my folks and friends I thought they were just crazy...
There’s a better life waiting upstream...
But every now and then I hear them saying...
(CHORUS)
You’ll Come Back...
Back to the town where you were born...
You’ll Come Back...
Memories are way too strong...
You’ll Come Back...
When you get to feeling you’re all alone...
You’ll Come Back...
Why do you think they call it home...
They say life’s a roller coaster of emotion...
You either love it or it makes you sick...
The ups and downs in life, I guess that luck was with me...
Life’s good... The pieces fit...
But every now and then I hear them saying...
(CHORUS)
(BREAK)
Someday when I’m old and hopefully much wiser...
I’ll sit around and reminisce of the ol’ days...
Wonder if I’d stayed just where you would find me...
Maybe to my own son you’d hear me say...
(CHORUS)
You’ll Come Back...
Back to the town where you were born...
You’ll Come Back...
Memories are way too strong...
You’ll Come Back...
When you get to feeling all alone...
You’ll Come Back...
Why do you think they call it home...
Why do you think they call it home...
Why do you think they call it home...
Come on back... Come on back...
Why do you think they call it home...
