it's desert ice outside

but this diner has thawed my ears

hot coffee in a clean white mug and a smile

when the waitress hears

that i was born in north carolina

not an hour from her home town

and we used to play the same pizza parlor pinball

and there's a glance in time

suspended as i wonder how it is

we've been swept up just by circumstance

to where the coyote lives

where my days are strips of highway

and she's wiping tables down

holding on and still waiting for that windfall

but i've come home

even though i've never had so far to go

i've come home

i pay the check and leave the change

from a crumpled ten-dollar bill

head across the street

where vacancy is burning in neon still

well the night eats up my body heat

and there's no sign of another

and i find myself slipping down into that black

but things are good i've got

a lot of followers of my faith

i've got a whole congregation

living in my head these days

and i'm preaching from the pulpit

to cries of"amen brother"

closing my eyes to feel the warmth come back

and i've come home

even though i swear i've never been so alone

i just want to be living as i'm dying

just like everybody here

just want to know my little

flicker of time is worthwhile

and i don't know where i'm driving to

but i know i'm getting old

and there's a blessing in every moment every mile

thin white terry bars of soap

and a couple little plastic cups

old gideons bible in the nightstand

drawer saying"go on open up"

well i'll kneel down on the carpet here

though i never was sure of god

think tonight i'll give him the benefit of the doubt

i switch off the lights and imagine

that waitress outlined in the bed

her hair falling all around me

i smile and shake my head

well we all write our own endings

and we all have our own scars

but tonight i think i see what it's all about

because i've come home

中文：它是沙漠冰外部，但是这个吃饭的客人解冻了我的耳朵在一个干净的白色杯子和微笑的热咖啡，当女服务员听见

我出生在北卡罗来纳

从她的家乡的小时我们曾经播放同一个比萨店弹子球的

那里是扫视及时暂停的，因为我想知道它怎么是

我们由的土狼居住的情况清扫了对

我的天是高速公路小条

她抹桌下来和仍然等待那次意外收获

我回家了

到目前为止，即使我从未有去

我回家了

I薪水检查和离开从一张被弄皱的十美元票据的变动横跨空位在氖仍然烧的街道的夜吃我的身体热的那里是没有别的标志

我寻找自己滑倒下来入那黑色

但事是好我有我的信念很多追随者

我那些日子居住在我的头的整体会众我从讲坛讲道的揂兄弟啼声？闭上我的眼睛感觉温暖回来

我回家了

，即使我发誓我从未是很单独的

我回家了

当我死， 我想要居住

喜欢大家这里

想要知道我一点时间忽悠是值得的

和我不知道我何处驾驶我知道的但我变老那里是在每片刻的一个祝福每英里

白色特里肥皂和夫妇少许塑料杯子在说夜立场的抽屉的老 圣经揋开放？我在地毯这里将跪下来虽然我未曾是肯定的上帝

我今晚将给他考虑

光的开关和想象在床上概述的女服务员落所有在我附近的他头发

我微笑和摇我的头

我们全部写我们自己的结尾

和我们全部有我们自己的伤痕

但是我今晚认为我看见的是所有

因为我回家了

我回家了

很悦耳.
