(You Could Always) Come Back

Steve Wariner · Drive [Arista] [1993]

(Marc Beeson/Robert Byrne)



Long time no see now I'm fine you know me

Most folks can't tell I still hurt like hell

But you look in my eyes and see right through it

You wanna know what you can do.



You could always come back girl that's all you could do

Walk away from the life that he's made for you

You could love me again just the way you used to

Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back.



Don't write, don't call, don't try to help at all

I've come this far you've already done your part

So sweet, sweet darling I'll tell you the truth

There's only one thing you could do.



You could always come back girl that's all you could do

Walk away from the life that he's made for you

You could love me again just the way you used to

Girl as long as you've asked you could always come back.



As long as you've asked you could always come back...
