My mother's up in the universe
And rock and roll ain't about to die
My mind's made up
It happened kind of quickly
In the blink of an eye
And you carried me, and it was such a heavy load
And you walked along with me
Every step of the road
Come back, baby, won't you come back home
Well, I need you, I'm all alone
Come back, baby, just come back home
I need you, pick up the phone
The policeman knocked on my door
He said, "please sir, don't cry"
I sat down, with my head in my hands
Couldn't even ask why
I could drive your car so you could ride my bike
Days and nights of wondering about
Sunshine, rain, grey skies
Come back, baby, won't you come back home
'Cause I need you, I'm all alone
Come back, baby, come back home
I need you, pick up the phone
It's a rocky road stretching on forever
Dust is getting into my eyes
I'm winding down, to the shining river
Take off my clothes and fly
And you carried me, and it was such a heavy load
And you walked along with me
Every step of the road
I could drive your car so you could ride my bike
Days and nights of wondering about
Sunshine, rain, grey skies
Come back, baby, won't you come back home
'Cause I need you, I'm all alone
Come back, baby, come back home
I need you, I'm all alone
Come back, baby, come back home
I need you, pick up the phone
