lyrics

Came off St. Mary’s with my heel half off

Mascara on my thumb, and my phone stayed off

At the Valero by I-10, bought gum and a Coke

You left me with the tab, then you cut and you choked

My keys cut my palm in the Walmart lot

I laughed at my own self, but it was all I got

Crossing past Alamo, my throat felt dry

I kept my chin up high, but I still wanted to cry

I smelled like rain and tequila heat

Came home with gravel in my feet

The porch light hit my face so hard

I stood there slow with my card and scar

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Mud on my jeans

Mascara runs clean

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Your name on my screen, but I let it ring

I watched my own reflection in a Whataburger drink

At the corner taquería, the bag split wide

Hot sauce on my knuckles, and I swallowed my pride

The bus hissed by me on Commerce Street

My blisters pulsed with every beat

I passed the laundromat, heard the dryers spin

Tried to hold it together, then I folded in

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Mud on my jeans

Mascara runs clean

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

By my front gate, I could barely stand

Keys in my left hand, chain in my right hand

I wiped my cheek on my sleeve so blue

Told that night, “You don’t get me too”

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

I’m coming home

Mud on my jeans

Mascara runs clean

I’m coming home

I’m coming home
