Lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, the stairs sound so lonely without you And I ain't made my bed in a week Coffee stains on the paper I'm writing And I'm too choked up inside to speak [Bridge] And, yes, I know that our differences pulled us apart We never spoke a word heart to heart [Pre-Chorus] And I'm glad that you're gone But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home [Chorus] And I'm glad that you're gone Got the feeling so strong And I'm glad that you're gone But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home [Verse 2] Well, my guitar still plays your favorite song Though the strings have been out of tune for some time Every time I strum a chord, I pray up to the Lord That you quit your honkey tonkin', sing my song [Chorus] And I'm glad that you're gone Got the feeling so strong Yes, I'm glad that you're gone But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home [Verse 3] So I'll throw another log onto the fire Now I admit I'm a lousy liar As the coals die down and flicker, I hear that guitar picker Play the song we used to sing so long ago [Chorus] And I'm glad that you're gone Got the feeling so strong Yes, I'm glad that you're gone But I wish to the Lord that you'd come home [Outro] And I'm glad, damn glad you're gone Got the feeling so strong Yes, I'm glad that you're gone But I wish to the Lord you'd come home
