When the Rebel Comes Home

When The Rebel Comes Home - Dakota

He's a refugee from the highway

Out there fighting for years

Whether by god or by glory

He's been traveling through his fears

And he always feels that his next step

Will surely set him free

So be kind when he approaches

'Cause that rebel could be me

He doesn't know that the road's been dying

Dying for so many years

Traveling in his darkness

He's been traveling through his fears

And he left his home as a young one

Left the young one in him behind

Now his reasons for leaving

Well I'll tell you my friend

They're just a little hard to find

When the rebel comes home

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no

Let him warm his soul on your shoulder

You better touch this man who's been so much older

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no

Let him warm his soul on your shoulder

You better touch this man who's been so much older

He's been walking along the shores of deception

Turned his back on it all

But you know something must be wrong when you get that late night call

I say maybe it was wild geese on the fly

Or a mother calling her child

That brought a tear to his lonely eye

And called him back from the wild

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no

Let him warm his soul on your shoulder

You better touch this man who's been so much older

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no

Let him warm his soul on your shoulder

You better touch this man who's been so much older

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no

Let him warm his soul on your shoulder

You better touch this man who's been so much older

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no

Let him warm his soul on your shoulder

You better touch this man who's been so much older

When the rebel comes home

Please don't leave him alone no no
