Please Come Home
Gary Clark Jr. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My love is with you
Even though you're far away
You made me love you
And that's where my love will stay, darling
Those times I get lonely
You're the one who truly knows me
I can tell it in the way, darling
You show me, why don't you please come home, girl
Come on home, girl
You've been gone way to long, girl
Ooh, come on home, girl
Ooh oh

As time goes by
My days go by slower
My nights are getting colder
And my mind has gone astray
Why don't you please come home, girl?
Oh, come on home, girl
You've been gone way too long, girl
Oh, come on home, darling
Ooh, come on home, girl
Oh, come on home, girl





Oh please come home, girl

My love is with you

You make me love you
And that's where my love will stay

Those times I get lonely
You're the one who truly knows me
I can tell it in the way you talk

Oh, come on home
Ooh, come home, girl
Oh, come on home, girl
Oh please come home, girl

Love how the solo volume level was cranked and he was like ohhh shit.... then just ripped the the soul outta that guitar. Legendary performance. My neighbors probably hate me for this video.

he puts in those pauses like a master, it accentuates the louder points, its a strategic buildup

K Fletch

I like to think my neighbors love me because I only blast epic songs like this.

John Mate

Anyone else keep on coming back to this video? For 2 years now, been watching this performance and it still send shivers down my spine. It is probably the greatest factor of my motivation of getting way better on guitar. His meandering or improvisation alone is fucking amazing. Glad that there's people like this are still out there in this day of age.

Have you heard the 512 lounge version? I go back and forth between which I like best.

René Becerra

Here I am 10 years later still enjoying this as the first time. Amazing
