In the streets of this old city
Time is drifting away
Every corner tells a story
Of life from back in the day
Long nights
Bar fights
My cell light
Tells me to say good night
And come back home tonight
Leave a light on in the hallway
To show that its okay
To come back home
Leave a light on in the hallway
So you don't have to say
Come back home
Back home
Back home
I'm coming home today
Back home
Back home
I'm coming home to stay
As the rubber hits the concrete
Traffic makes me insane
Through the maze of winding alleys
I'm seeing red lights again
Brake lights
Sit tight
Turn next right
Thank you for all of the good nights
I almost home tonight
Leave a light on in the hallway
To show that its okay
To come back home
Leave a light on in the hallway
So you don't have to say
Come back home
Back home
Back home
I'm coming home today
Back home
Back home
I'm coming home to stay
In a city that never sleeps
Tired and I'm seeking peace
Leave behind the noise and speed
No need to find the source of my dreams
Leave a light on for me
So I can take my place
Back home
Back home
Back home
Leave a light on in the hallway
To show its okay
Leave a light on in the hallway
I'm not far away
Leave a light on in the hallway
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming back home to stay
