V1
Slammed the screen door
Spun the tires in the drive
Such a small and stupid thing
Turned into a big fight
Just needed a minute
Won’t take me that long
To figure out she was right
And understand that I was wrong

Chorus
Who says I’ll make it back home
What if the last words that I said
Are what she’ll see on my grave stone
I take it all for granted
But I need to pick up the phone
Who says I’ll make it back home

V2.
Ran down to the mall
To grab a remote for the TV
But when I stepped out of the truck
Bullets were flying ‘round me
Active shooter spewing evil
Random shots in the broad day light
Someone’s world changed today
Someone’s voice won’t be heard tonight

Chorus
Who says I’ll make it back home
What if the last words that I said
Are what she’ll see on my grave stone
I take it all for granted
But I need to pick up the phone
Who says I’ll make it back home

Bridge
With shaky hands I dialed
Told her I loved her and I cried
What if I didn’t make it home
….. What if I’d died?

Chorus
Baby I’m coming back home
So much I need to say
There ain’t no dates chiseled on my grave stone
I took it all for granted
I’m glad I picked up the phone
Thank God I made it back home

I take it all for granted
I’m glad I picked up the phone
Thank God I made it back home

Thank God I made it back home
