Make Yourself at Home

The Starting Line

"Make it a note to take your pills," she said 
"I'll leave them on the table in the same brown bottle you know." 
She said, "It's good to have you home." 
The second that I smelt the scent of my own house I said it. 
"Send just one postcard home, 
And call as often as you can to tell us how it goes. 
Let us know." 

"Make it a note to make a point." he said 
That's good advice I'll take it 
Now, I'll start to use it, you know 
Sentence, long messages 
From me to you to let you know I'm ok 
I'll let you know 

I'm out making you proud 
So don't wait up, I'll be home soon 
I'm out of town for now 
You're what makes it home that I'll come back to 

"Make it a note to take your time," they begged 
"Take baby steps to everywhere, and come home in one piece to us." 
You know, it's so good to be home 
And know that when I hit the road 
I'm thinking of you both, I miss you 

"Send just one postcard home, 
And call as often as you can to let us know how it goes. 
Let us know." 

I'm out making you proud 
So don't wait up, I'll be home soon 
I'm out of town for now 
You're what makes it home that I'll come back to 

Thank you for everything 

I'm out making you proud 
So don't wait up, I'll be home soon 
I'm out of town for now 
You're what makes it home that I'll come back to
