lyrics

COME BACK BAD

before you left you was a boy
you were fair of mind and fair of skin
and in the heat we sinned
before you left you was a boy
and in the heat we sinned
you could sooth my ache with a grin
as in the heat we sinned
you gave me a child, and i gave you my hand
you left as a boy and you come back a man
but you come back, you come back bad
you was the only thing I ever wanted
but you come back cold and haunted
you come back, come back bad
that first boy that fell before your foolish gun
made you wanna cry
made you wanna run
and didn't he look just a bit like you
I think you died on that day too
and when you come back, you come back bad
boy you was the only thing I ever wanted
but this man is just too ragged, hollow, and haunted
his heart is drunk to drowning
and his eye is yella and mad
he just come back bad
this boy that you gave me, came with your name
but I'm gonna take him far away now
and spare him your pain
gonna take him far away now
gonna change his name
and you and him, you'll never be the same
and when he goes away
I just pray he don't come back bad
