Country Music - name of newly released country song
Expert: Beth Burgess - 10/22/2009
Question
Recently, I have heard a new song by a male country singer. The song is about a father and a daughter and is sung from the father's perspective. It seems that his daughter had ran away from home some time ago. The father has sat by the phone waiting on her to call. He says the time has come that he must go to work. Before he goes, he records what is the chorus of the song to her on the answering machine. He uses a phrase in the song "hug you home." He recognizes that she may not feel she can come home. At the end of the song, the daughter leaves a message to her father she is coming home. What is the title and artist?
Answer
Hi Candie! The song you're looking for is Jason Michael Carroll's "Hurry Home." (You've got to love Daddy-Daughter songs!!!) I've included the lyrics for you below and a link to the video on the CMT website. Hope this helps!

Artist: Jason Michael Carroll
Song: Hurry Home
Album: Growing Up Is Getting Old
He's been sitting 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
And then he softly sings
Chorus
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 making 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 calling cause he just heard the news
He says Man I hope you find her
If I see her I'll remind her that her dad is worried
And want her to know
Chorus
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 making 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 sing
Chorus
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 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
