On a red-eye flight to London
Everything you need to own
Is on your back and you're smiling
Because you're gone
You'd better not look behind you
Or you might just turn to stone
Keep your eyes on the horizon
And where you're going
And I know you'll find
Just what you're looking for
When you come back home
Stay up all night
To hear your stories and your songs
When you come back home
There'll be open arms
Waiting when you come home
Go and show them why we love you
Send a postcard now and then
I'll picture me beside you
We'll take it all in
And when you get up on that mountain
Sing a song up there for me
Let them hear you in the heavens
Singing baby I'm free
And I know you'll find
Just what you're looking for
When you come back home
Stay up all night
To hear your stories and your songs
When you come back home
There'll be open arms
Waiting when you come home
There'll be open arms
Waiting when you come home
Find yourself in a stranger's eyes
In a red sunset
Or in a kiss goodbye
Find yourself on that open road
And when your feet get tired
You know just where to go
When you come back home
Stay up all night
Just to listen to your songs
When you come back home
There'll be open arms
Waiting when you come home
There'll be open arms
Waiting when you come home
There'll be open arms waiting
Come home
