He's been sittin' by the

phone since she left

But it's time for work

and he just can't be late

So he grabs his old guitar

and he plays a couple bars

On the machine

Then he softly sings

It doesn't matter what you've done

I still love you

It doesn't matter where you've been

You can still come home

And honey if it's you

We've got a lot of makin' up to do

And I can't hug you on the phone

So hurry home

Well the message light was

blinking when he got back

It was an old friend callin'

cuz he just heard the news

He said man I hope you find her

if I see her I'll remind her

That her daddy's worried

and wantin her to know

It doesn't matter what you've done

I still love you

It doesn't matter where you've been

You can still come home

And honey if it's you

We've got a lot of makin' up to do

And I can't hug you on the phone

So hurry home

Well the days dragged by

without a word from her

And it looked like she

might not be coming back

People said man don't you think it's

time to take that old message off

He said no you never

know when she might call

She was just outside a

bar in New York City

Her so called friends

had left her all alone

She was scared he wouldn't want her

But she dialed up that old

number and let it ring

And then she heard him say

It doesn't matter what you've done

I still love you

It doesn't matter where you've been

You can still come home

And honey if it's you we got

a lot of making up to do

And I can't hug you on the phone

So hurry home

He walked in just in

time to hear her say

"Dad I'm on my way"
