Carved a heart in a dogwood tree
Found a song in everything
Nothing to lose and nothing to gain
Barefoot dancing in the pouring rain
Regina won't you come back home
Done her daddy proud
Made her momma shine
Found beauty in the night through a child's eyes
Little blithe like a firefly
Never knowing that that fire could die
Oh no, no
Regina won't you come back home
Regina won't you come back home
She lost her way along a wandering path
She can't get it back
She can't get it back
It's the wanderer who finds her soul
Lord only knows
You had a long road
Regina won't you come back home
Regina won't you come back home
She loved a man and he let her down
She took an apron for a crown
She knew a girl that lived out loud
But she don't ever come around no more
Regina won't you come back home
Regina won't you come back home
Time flew by
And she let it go
Used to laugh
But now she don't
Little girl dreams
All turned to stone
Spends her day
On the telephone
Saying no, no, no
She lost her way along a wandering path
She can't get it back
She can't get it back
It's the wanderer who finds her soul
And Lord only knows
You had a long road
Regina won't you come back home
Regina won't you come back home
