Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You leave at dawn, boots on the dock
Coffee in a thermos, lunch in a sock
Tow rope coiled up by your knee
Whole river knows you belong to me
[Verse 2]
You push that barge through the muddy bend
Send me a text when the long day ends
Your hands come home smelling like rain
I stand on the porch, count your lights again
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night, that engine hum
Gets a little softer when you come
I hear your truck on the gravel drive
And my whole heart comes alive
[Chorus]
You always come home
Come back to me
Tow boat man
Where you oughta be
You always come home
Like the tide to the shore
I love you more
Than I did before
[Verse 3]
You hang your vest by the screen door frame
Mud on your cuffs, but you kiss me the same
No grand parade, no silver star
Just a good hard man with a working heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Every night, that engine hum
Gets a little softer when you come
I hear your truck on the gravel drive
And my whole heart comes alive
[Chorus]
You always come home
Come back to me
Tow boat man
Where you oughta be
You always come home
Like the tide to the shore
I love you more
Than I did before
[Bridge]
I don’t need silk, I don’t need gold
Just your hand in mine when the nights turn cold
You chase that river, I keep the flame
And I’ll be here calling your name
[Chorus]
You always come home
Come back to me
Tow boat man
Where you oughta be
You always come home
Like the tide to the shore
I love you more
Than I did before
