[Intro]
Oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Hoo-ooh-ooh, oh, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh-oh

[Verse 1]
I'm so tired of all the love wounds
That you left, girl, when you went away
Sitting here fighting a battle
That was over when I had to relocate
You see I, ain't much for letting go
No baby, I gotta hold on
'Cause trials, tribulations, and relationships
Have all made me strong

[Chorus]
(Oh girl, I cry)
These tears that I shed are the trail to bring you home
(Oh girl, I cry)
Mama told me that a man's own tears can make him strong
(Oh girl, I cry)
I'll sit around here and wait for you to come home
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
[Verse 2]
Away from you and a baby
Girl, that's too much for me
I missed choir practice on Saturday
Tryna catch the last midnight movie
See, I just buried my mother
And I'll be damned if I lose you
Until time brings you home again
This is what I'll do, oh

[Chorus]
(Oh girl, I cry)
These tears that I shed are the trail to bring you home
(Oh girl, I cry)
Mama always told me that a man's own tears can make him strong
(Oh girl, I cry)
I'll sit around here and wait for you to come home, girl
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
Cry for you, cry for you, cry for you, baby
(Oh girl, I cry)
These tears that I shed are the trail to bring you home
(Oh girl, I cry)
Mama told me that a man's own tears can make him strong
(Oh girl, I cry)
Said I'll sit around here and wait for you to come home, girl
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
(I'll cry for you)
I'll cry, I'll cry, I'll cry, yes I will, yes I will
(Oh girl, I cry)
These tears that I shed are the trail to bring you home, girl
(Oh girl, I cry)
Mama told me that a man's own tears can make him strong
(Oh girl, I cry)
Said I'll sit around here and wait for you to come home, girl
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
(I'll cry for you) I'll cry
[Outro]
Oh, sometimes
Oh, sometimes
I sit around the house, yeah
I sit around the house complaining to myself
Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Said anytime (Anytime)
Anytime you want to come home, baby
