I still remember when you were young and wild
You really looked like the original flower child
You alwas said you were looking for something better
But all life ever gave you was a Dear John letter
Did you feel the joy, did you feel the pain
Or was it heartache or was it shame

I'm gonna bring you back home
I'm gonna bring you back home
I'm gonna bring you back home before it's too late

You running too fast to see the open door
You drifted so far away you couldn't see the shore
Out in the water you were sinking like a stone
You should have followed the star instead of walking out on your own
Gotta get your feet on solid ground
Take what was lost and make it found

You've been high and you've been knocked down
You've been lost and now you have been found
I can't compare what's happened to you
I only wish all of your dreams would come true
As you close your eyes it's another lonely night
You can't find your soul in the neon skylight
