If it's a song then by all means keep on singing
If it's a thought then by all means keep on thinking
If it's a girl, boy keep her in your heart
And if you're scared well it's alright that you are
Whatever brings you back
Be it wings or a prayer
A little dream that you've been dreaming
A picture, you've got it somewhere
Whatever keeps you going, keeps you going
Home this side of the grass
Someone at home waiting for you
Two empty arms that miss you bad
Whatever brings you back
Whatever brings you back
If it's your mama pretend you're sitting in the kitchen
If it's your daddy pretend you're on the water fishing
If it's your best friend, you're holding on for dear life
Then hold on, hold on with all your might
Whatever brings you back
Be it wings or a prayer
A little dream that you've been dreaming
A picture, you've got it somewhere
Whatever keeps you going, keeps you going
Home this side of the grass
Someone at home waiting for you
Two empty arms that miss you bad
Whatever brings you back
Whatever brings you back
You were raised to see things through
Keep the faith and I will too
Do what it is you've got to do
Oh I'll be praying for you
Whatever brings you back
Whatever brings you back
Just come on back
Just come on back
Just come on back
Just come on back
I want you back
So come on back
