Flatland Cavalry Come Back Down Lyrics

[Intro]
You're a sight for sore eyes
Won't you get on over here?
I'd run and wrap my arms around you
If I could get out this chair
Hell, I can't get out of this chair

[Verse 1]
Tell me son now how's the city?
How's it all playin' out?
You've been in mine and your daddy's prayers
Never cast one doubt
Knew the day we brought you home
You were bound to be a star
Just wish you didn't grow so quick
And have to live so far
[Chorus 1]
You've been gone for way too long
Thought you was never gonna come back down
Throw some coffee on the pot
Let's sit and talk about
How we thought you were never gonna come back down

[Verse 2]
The winds of change must be blowing Look who's back in town
Did you fall down from your throne
Or did you lose your crown?
Aw hell, all's well little brother
Look how much you've grown
Save your tears for a rainy day
Our lost one has come home

[Chorus 2]
You built a castle in the sky
Thought you was never gonna come back down
Round the boys up to the spot
Maker's all around
Hell, we thought you were never gonna come back down

[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
I've been gone for way too long
Thought I was never gonna come back down
It's good to kick some dirt back up in my stomping grounds
Thought I was never gonna come back down
Thank God I came back down
