Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Seven years since I left the shore Heard the ocean roar Sweat and salt on the fishing floor Then the saws in the mountain pine Walking that thin line Waiting for a sign I’ve been drifting like a ghost From the peaks down to the coast Looking for what I lost the most [Pre-Chorus] Found a coat for a dollar bill Hanging cold and still Deep inside the lining Something started shining (Fiddle plays high and wild) [Chorus] Oh! I’m coming back for you (Back for you!) Like we said we’d do (Said we'd do!) Cross the rivers and the plains Break these heavy chains Brother, can you hear me now? I’m keeping that old vow [Post-Chorus] (Stomp, clap, stomp, clap) Keeping that old vow (Stomp, clap, stomp, clap) [Verse] Tattered ink on a yellow page Written in another age When we were just boys Sharing all our toys Before the world got loud Before I got too proud It was tucked in a secret fold Worth more than any gold A story that must be told [Pre-Chorus] Now the fiddle starts to cry Underneath a heavy sky Dust is blowing in my eyes Time for my second rise (Fiddle swells with the banjo) [Chorus] Oh! I’m coming back for you (Back for you!) Like we said we’d do (Said we'd do!) Cross the rivers and the plains Break these heavy chains Brother, can you hear me now? I’m keeping that old vow [Bridge] Heel-toe on the gravel road Dropping every heavy load North star leading the way I’ll reach you by day Seven years was far too long Singing this lonesome song I'm burning up the miles Running through the trials [Verse] I wonder if you still reside By the rolling riverside Do you hate my name? Is it all the same? I left without a word The worst thing you ever heard But the letter says it all I'm answering the call Standing ten feet tall [Chorus] Oh! I’m coming back for you (Back for you!) Like we said we’d do (Said we'd do!) Cross the rivers and the plains Break these heavy chains Brother, can you hear me now? I’m keeping that old vow [Post-Chorus] (Stomp, clap, stomp, clap) Keeping that old vow (Stomp, clap, stomp, clap) I'm almost there now [Outro]
