When you left me you hurt me so badly
And you said you would never come back
You told me you were lookin for something good
And you had to find out where it was at
Well I've heard that you found your answer
And your as happy as you can be
All the things you've been looking around for baby
You have found them right here with me

Welcome home why'd you leave like that
Welcome home it's good to have you back

Yes it's true I've been thinking about
And it made me so doggone sad
Somebody told me that they saw you comin
And it's made me so doggone glad

Welcome home
Welcome home

You caused me immense pain when you departed from my life

And you said you would never come back
