He’s Comin’ Back Home

VERSE 1
John my brother—wait before you leave
There’s trouble brewing down at the creek
Hangman roped another thief
Now there’s a soul in need

VERSE 2

He robbed the bank on Monroe street

Had a wife and kids to feed

Tried to ride out on the twelve fifteen

They caught him before the bridge

PRECHORUS

Come on John-grab your bible again

CHORUS

Our Father who art in Heaven

This ain’t the life you wanted him livin’

Have mercy on a poor man’s soul

He’s goin’ back home

BRIDGE

No trial date no magistrate no reprieve

It was justice served down by the creek

CHORUS

Our Father who art in Heaven

This ain’t the life you wanted him livin’

Have mercy on a poor man’s soul

He’s comin’ back home

VERSE 3

Sheriff notified his next of kin

Waited on his wife and little kids

Heard momma tellin’ his daughters

Daddy made a bad mistake

LIFT

Yeah-daddy made a bad mistake

CHORUS

Our Father who art in Heaven

This ain’t the life you wanted him livin’

Have mercy on a poor man’s soul

He’s comin’ back home

OUTRO

Have mercy on a poor man’s soul

He’s comin’ back home

Hey you two,

Well this is a interesting write indeed as your both very different writers, I can see both your input in the verses. It’s a sad lyric, I like way you have included the Lord’s prayer into the chorus as for a moment I thought oh no where is this going but I like how you have merged it with the rest of the lyric as it didnt come off as corney!!!

I could a banjo playing and a sullen low gruff voice singing!!!

Shirl had the bones to a great song, and I basically am happy to have helped move the ball forward. Thank you SWara for the comment. I would love to hear this played with a resonator/dobro and banjo; that would be perfect—with an earthy, dirty southern-ness to it.

Hugs

Hey Shirley & JD,

This is cool you guys, Shirley you had a real good base for this song, but teaming up with JD really pushed it to the top.  Both of your influences are prevelant through out, and it makes a rich mix.  Ditto JD and Sara on the resonator/dobro/banjo, add a worn flat top, put a little Hank on it, and it’s OVER the top.  Kudos,

Speak soon,
Ron
