Originally from Detroit, MI, Dan moved to Minneapolis in 2004 to pursue music. He started a band with his brother, Andre Rodriguez, and called it The Auburns. They played locally for a couple years, and grew together as a band, as brothers, and as musicians.
In January, 2008, Dan started a self-titled solo project in the Twin Cities. Promoting his band as a trio, Dan started playing venues in the local music scene. As things began to go well, a greater demand for Dan's music rose high enough to inspire him to record an album. This would be the first album Dan has recorded.
June 13th, 2008, the album Unreal was released in Minneapolis. Dan has since been playing locally and touring throughout the Midwest reaching venues in MN, WI, and MI, including Summerfest '08 and '09 in Milwaukee, WI, and sharing the stage with national acts including Pete Francis (of Dispatch) and Augustana.
"Watch out for Dan Rodriguez, you have not seen the last of him or his band. They are going somewhere." - Kevin Wallen Founder of LocalMusicMN.com
COME ON HOME
Dan Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been telling me a lie
Saying that you′re just going through a phase
And it's gonna be alright
But you've been turning to the whiskey
And you′ve been turning to the rye
And you′ve been turning everyone into
Oh how much longer do you need
And how much can you bleed
Come on home, we'll let you in
Don′t wanna lose you on the road you're traveling
The night is cold, and the storm is strong
And there′s nothing out there for ya, when you're all alone
So come on home, oh come on home
Now I don′t have your solution
And I can't take away your hurt
But I can pray for rain on this bridge so it doesn't get burnt
But if you′re needing a shoulder
Oh if you′re needing a hand
Well I can stand here right by your side, up until the end
Just tell me
How much longer do you need
How much longer can you bleed
Come on home, we'll let you in
Don′t wanna lose you on the road you're traveling
The night is cold, and the storm is strong
And there′s nothing out there for ya, when you're all alone
Oh so come on home
Ooh come on home
So come on home
We′ll let you in
Don't wanna lose you on the road you're traveling
The night is cold, and the storm is strong
And there′s nothing out there for ya, when you′re all alone
Come on home
Oh come on home
Yeah come on home
Come on home

You’ve been telling me a story
You’ve been feeding me false hope and lies
You've been telling me a lie
You haven’t been truthful with me
Saying that you’re just going through a phase
Claiming that your current behavior will eventually change
And it's gonna be alright
And that everything will be okay in the end
But you've been turning to the whiskey
But you’ve been using alcohol to cope
And you’ve been turning to the rye
And you’ve been using alcohol to numb the pain
And you've been turning everyone into
And you’ve been pushing everyone away
The Devil for the sake of your own pride
Making them out to be the enemy to satisfy your own ego
Oh how much longer do you need
How much more time do you require
And how much can you bleed
And how much more pain can you take
Come on home, we’ll let you in
Come back to the place where you belong, we’ll accept you
Don’t wanna lose you on the road you’re traveling
Don’t want to lose you to your destructive path
The night is cold, and the storm is strong
It’s a dangerous and difficult world out there
And there’s nothing out there for ya, when you're all alone
And there’s nothing in the outside world to comfort you when you’re alone
Now I don't have your solution
I don’t have the answer to your problems
And I can't take away your hurt
And I can’t remove your pain
But I can pray for rain on this bridge so it doesn't get burnt
I can offer my support to protect us from burning bridges
But if you're needing a shoulder
But if you need someone to lean on
Oh if you're needing a hand
Oh if you need someone to help you
Well I can stand here right by your side, up until the end
I’ll be here for you until the very end
Just tell me
Just be honest with me
How much longer do you need
How much more time do you require
How much longer can you bleed
How much more pain can you take
Come on home, we’ll let you in
Come back to the place where you belong, we’ll accept you
Don’t wanna lose you on the road you’re traveling
Don’t want to lose you to your destructive path
The night is cold, and the storm is strong
It’s a dangerous and difficult world out there
And there’s nothing out there for ya, when you're all alone
And there’s nothing in the outside world to comfort you when you’re alone
Come on home
Come back to where you belong
Oh come on home
Please come home
Yeah come on home
Do the right thing and come home
Come on home
Come back to the place where you belong
