Come On Home (My Soul's Dyin')

[Chorus:]
Come on home, my soul's a dyin'
Come on home, my eyes are cryin'
You gotta know
My heart gave up tryin'
To forget about you
Darlin', come on home
I understand now why you had to go
So many times I'd told you no
I was selfish and had to have my own way
And seldom heard what you had to say
[Chorus]
Come on home now and tell me that you'll stay
I promise you I will change my ways
I'll stop being a fool and start to compromise
'Cause time and tears have made me realize
You gotta
[Chorus x2]
Can't forget about you
Darlin', come on home
