During that time, Cody Collins, who had formerly been in another country group called McAlyster, replaced McDonald as the band's lead vocalist. John Rich was also the group's bass guitarist and second lead vocalist until 1998, when he was fired from the group. He left for a solo career, before joining Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich in 2003.

Another popular Lonestar song was "Mr. Mom". This song is on of the most played songs on radio stations to date.

Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Weary traveller, somethin' missin' inside
Always lookin' for a reason to turn around
Desperate for a little peace of mind
Just a little piece of what I left behind
Well, I found it now: you're like coming home
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like coming home
You're like coming home, all right
Go 'head and let your hair fall down
This wanderlust--it's gone now
I'm here in your arms; I'm safe from the road again
These are the days that can't be erased
Baby, there isn't a better place
You're like heaven
You're like coming home
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like coming home
You're that innocence, that serenity
That long-lost part of me
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
A midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like a Sunday mornin', pleasin' my eyes
You're a midsummer's dream under a star-soaked sky
That peaceful easy feelin' at the end of a long, long road
You're like coming home, yeah
You're like coming home
Baby, like coming home;
You're like coming home
The lyrics to Lonestar's "You're Like Comin' Home" tell the story of a restless traveler who's been journeying for a long time, searching for a sense of peace and belonging. The singer has been wandering aimlessly, always looking for a reason to turn around and go back home. However, they find their sense of serenity and belonging in someone else's company. Their lover is like a Sunday morning, a midsummer's dream, and a peaceful easy feeling--all wrapped up in one. They are the embodiment of innocence and serenity, and they're like coming home to the singer.
The singer's search for a place to belong and find peace is reflected in the opening lyrics. The broken sky and weary traveler are symbols of the singer's inner turmoil and restlessness. The singer's constant search for a little piece of what they left behind indicates that they have been struggling to find a sense of closure or a place to call home. The joy that they experience when they meet someone who makes them feel like coming home is palpable in the lyrics. The singer feels safe in the other person's arms and finally feels like they've found their sanctuary.
Throughout the song, the lyrics also describe the beauty of the person who is like coming home. The Sunday morning, midsummer's dream, star-soaked sky, innocent, and serene are all references to the beauty of the singer's lover. The peaceful easy feeling that the singer experiences when they're with their lover is a testament to how powerful love and belonging can be.

The original video for this song is awesome. That sure one beautiful 379 Peterbuilt. Wish that video was on you tube.

The whole reason I put this song on YouTube in the first place was because it was nowhere to be found. I don't have the music video, but you would think the morons clicking the dislike button could at least try to be more grateful? If I happened to purchase a song that isn't on YouTube, I'm more likely to post it just because I know it's going to get views. Just like this video here.

+IllBePlayin Sadly, I have no control over that. I don't know how that gets determined. I experience the same problems with Japanese videos every now and then so I understand the issue there. I would advise one of 2 things. Try a URL for a different country, or use an under the table method to view or listen to this video. I can personally think of 2 ways to do so, but I wouldn't have been able to do either if it wasn't for my ex/best friend. I wish you luck.
