COME ON HOME
Adam Brand Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was walkin down the Highway
My thumb out in the air
I'd argued with my father
And thought he didn't care
It was cold and I was angry
As I cursed his name that day
When a car pulled up beside me
And I heard my father say

Come on home, Come on home
I can't bear the thought of you
Out here all alone
It doesn't really matter
Who was right or who was wrong
Tears in his eyes he said please son
Come on home

She heard me say it's over
I can't do this anymore
Then I packed up my suitcase
And walked on out the door
A few days later from a phone booth
I called and through my pain
Said I know I don't deserve it
But will you take me back again

Come on home, Come on home
I can't bare the thought of you
Out there all alone
It doesn't really matter
Who was right or who was wrong
Don't say a word hang up the phone
Come on home

My Pop's been gone a while now
And my Nan she's grown old
And I was with her when she spoke her final words
She firmly held my hand
Then she gently let it go
As she left to be with Grandpa
I swore I thought I heard

Come on home
Come on home
Can't bear the thought of you
Out there on your own
I've been waiting for you
And your time had finally come

Now you'll never have to be alone
Come on home

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adam Brand’s song “Come on Home” are a poignant and emotional reflection on the themes of family, forgiveness, and the longing for home. The story told in the song is divided into three parts, each one centering on a different character, connected only by the common thread of their mutual desire for reunion.

In the first verse, the singer, who is not named, is walking along the highway in anger and frustration after having an argument with his father. As he curses his Dad’s name, a car pulls up beside him and he hears his father’s voice inviting him back home. In the refrain, his father pleads with him to come back, to return to the safety and security of their shared home.

The second verse focuses on a couple who have broken up, presumably because the man has done something wrong. He leaves, but later calls from a phone booth to ask for forgiveness and to beg his lover to take him back. The refrain this time presents the lover as the one doing the inviting and the warning, asking for the man to come back, but adding that he should hang up the phone and come home.

The final verse takes a darker turn, as the singer's grandmother is nearing the end of her life. She passes away, but not before encouraging her grandson to come and join her in the larger family. The refrain this time is presented from the grandmother's perspective, welcoming her grandson to come home, where he will never have to be alone again.

Overall, "Come on Home" is a powerful testament to the importance of family, the enduring nature of grief and longing, and the possibility of reconciliation even when it seems impossible.
