[Verse 1]
Passed the old church on the edge of town
Trailways bus was right on time
Passed your uncle's store on Main Street
His old truck was parked outside
Everything seemed so much larger then
This old town has hardly grown
Has it really been ten long years?
Now you're finally comin' home

[Chorus]
Comin' home
You've been gone so very long
Comin' home
You'll just say you're comin' home

[Verse 2]
Left your hometown for the city lights
You were young and you were strong
Lots of traffic, lots of sleepless nights
Lots of dreams that all went wrong
You'll just tell 'em what they wanna hear
How you took the place by storm
You won't tell 'em how you lost it all
You'll just say you're comin' home

[Chorus]
Comin' home
You grew tired of being alone
Comin' home
You'll just say you're comin' home

[Outro]
Ooh, comin' home
Ooh, comin' home
Comin' home
Ooh, comin' home
Ooh
And they're gonna wonder
They're gonna wonder what went wrong
Ooh
You'll just say
(Comin' home)
You'll just say you're comin' home
Ooh
And you don't know for how long
Ooh
You'll just say
You'll just say you're comin' home

As a locally successful Detroit-area artist, he performed and recorded as Bob Seger and the Last Heard and Bob Seger System throughout the 1960s. By the early 1970s, he had dropped the “System” from his recordings and continued to strive for broader success with various other bands. In 1973, he put together the Silver Bullet Band, with a group of Detroit-area musicians, with whom he became most successful on the national level with the album Live Bullet, recorded live with the Silver Bullet Band in 1975 at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. On his studio albums, he also worked extensively with the Alabama-based Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, which appeared on several of Seger’s best-selling singles and albums.

In 1976, he achieved a national breakout with the studio album Night Moves. The Night Moves title track became his first Billboard Top 5 single and the album started a string six consecutive albums landing in the Billbaord Top 10. The 1980 album, Against the Wind, topped the charts.
