Lyrics
Where'd You Go
Chorus
What a sight to see, the day you'll be out of sight of me
always thought you'd live forever, the truth would always fight with me
the day you left, came as a fright to me
you were my hero, the way you always minded me
In my eyes, your were the worlds strongest man
when you beat me in arm wrestling, I was your biggest fan
you encouraged me to do my best, never give up or stop
but now that your gone, its gunna be lonely at the top
you taught me to walk, with my head held high
slipped money in my pocket and said never steal or lie
see Im mad at the world, why does the good always die
and the bad and the ugly always stay alive
but I take it in strive, everytime I take a stand
for what I believe in, your there holding my hand
see Im mad at god, cause it seems he dont understand
that not only did he take my grandfather, he took my best friend
Chorus
its been a few years, I still wonder why'd you go away
where'd you go, maybe I will see one day
When I close my eyes, I see your face
Smilin back at me, I know it'll be okay
see Im still young, and the future will be tough for me
without you by my side, reachin out a hand to me
I knew the time would come but didn't expect it so soon
when I walk into your house and dont see you in the room
and Im feelin the weight on my shoulders as Im gettin older
the more I reach for the sky, the more it gets colder
and there will be some days, that I just wanna quit
some days where I'll say "thats all, this is it"
cause with so much weight on my shoulders, somethings gatta give
I've had enough with all this, it's so hard to just live
but I know, you believe and push me on
and to know that your memory keeps us all strong
Chorus
Please come back home, to the place where i last saw your smile
but I know you still visit every once in a while
so come back home, to the place where you used to live
the place with all your family and kids
You never know what you got untill it goes away
you always told me that you would leave one day
didn't know that day would come and it scared me when it did
always thought you'd be there to see my own kids
So until the day I die, and I'll see you again
In my heart is where i keep you friend
I see you smilin', always here with me
1932 to 2004, rest in peace
I dont understand why you'd have to be gone
please come back home
but I know your memory will keep us strong
please come back home
until we meet again, I'll be here thinkin'
Please come back home
me and the rest of the family, here singin'
rest in peace
