[Verse 1]
Clock in with the dawn
Badge on my chest, eyes on the road
Every stop, every call
I read the room, I keep it controlled
Blue on my sleeve
But I’m still a man when the uniform’s off
I’ve seen hard days
Learned how to bend, never learned how to fall
[Pre-Chorus]
I pray when it’s heavy
I breathe when it hits
Keep my name clean
Keep my hands on the wheel
If I lose my way
I come back to this
Go home alive
That’s the deal
[Chorus]
Make it back home
Make it back home
Do what you gotta do
Stay humble, stay true
Make it back home
Make it back home
No matter what they throw
I’m still me through and through
[Verse 2]
I’ve knocked on doors
With my heart in my throat and my boots in the rain
I’ve heard the truth
And I’ve heard the lies said the same damn way
Some nights feel long
But I don’t let the bitterness take my name
I hold that line
And I leave no room for the shame
[Pre-Chorus]
I pray when it’s heavy
I breathe when it hits
Keep my name clean
Keep my hands on the wheel
If I lose my way
I come back to this
Go home alive
That’s the deal
[Chorus]
Make it back home
Make it back home
Do what you gotta do
Stay humble, stay true
Make it back home
Make it back home
No matter what they throw
I’m still me through and through
[Bridge]
When the storm comes in
And the night gets loud
I remember my momma
And the folks back home
Don’t let pride win
Don’t get lost in the crowd
Walk straight, keep faith
And carry on
[Final Chorus]
Make it back home
Make it back home
Do what you gotta do
Stay humble, stay true
Make it back home
Make it back home
No matter what they throw
I’m still me through and through
Make it back home
Make it back home
I’ll bring my soul back whole
To the ones I know
