Who Says You Can't Come Home
(dedicated to Richie, my partner in music)
I've spent thirty years lookin' at your face
Phil X, he can play but he just can't replace
You've run away from the only thing we've ever known
And like a blind dog without a bone
I'm adrift onstage, I can't get into the zone
I'm not a solo singer, I'm going to lose this pot of gold
I've tried this, tried that, now I've gone and hurt my back
Trying to please our fans, knittin' hacks
Spendin' too much time at my microphone
Oh, Richie, please come home.
Oh, Rich, can you please come home?
You're a Jovi guy, I call you one of my own
You're my right-hand man, I need your vocal tone
Oh, Richie, please come home.
Who says you can't go back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
Your fans are pissed and they just want you to show
Who says you can't go home? There's no fight.
You're so right. You're so right. You're so right. You're so right.
I went as far as I could, I tried to give you space
But I'm flailing out here, I need to see your face
I need your smile when we're out on the road
Every step on stage feels like the danger zone
Your fans are upset and they are startin' to roam
This is my band, the only band I've ever known
And I say you must come home.
Oh, Rich, please come home.
You've proven your point, I need you in the show
You're my right-hand man, I need your vocal tone
Oh, Richie, please come home.
Who says you can't come back?
Been all around the world and as a matter of fact
There's only one place left the fans want you to go
Oh, Richie, please come home.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
Promise you more solos each and every night
If I apologize now, oh, can I make it right?
Oh, Richie, please come home.
I've said stuff, done crap, now I'm sadly lookin' back
It's been a long, long road, I know why you left
Can't tell how the story goes
It doesn't matter where you are, doesn't matter where you go
If it's another rehab stint or back on the road
Can you please take me with you when you go?
Oh, can't you please come home?
Oh, Rich, please come home.
You're a Jovi guy, I call you one of my own
You're my right-hand man, I really need your vocal tone
Oh, can't you please come home?
Who says you can't come back?
Missin' from the tour and fans are startin' to yak
Sayin' I killed your dog and Bobby's got to go
Oh, can't you please come home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
You're so right, you're so right, you're so right, you're so right
If I apologize now to make it all right
Oh, can't you please come home?
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, oh Richie, please come home.
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's alright, oh Richie, please come home.
