[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
