Back Home Again

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in

The afternoon is heavy on my shoulders

There's a truck out on the four-lane a mile or so away

The whinin' of the wheels just makes it colder

And he's an hour away from writin' on his prayers up in the sky

Ten days on the road are barely gone

There's a fire softly burnin', supper on the stove

But it's the light in her eyes that keeps him warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again

Sometimes this old land feels like a long-lost friend

Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time?

What's the latest thing the neighbors say?

Well, your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry

Felt the baby move just yesterday

Hey, it's good to be back home again

Sometimes this old land feels like a long-lost friend

Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down

And feel your fingers feather-soft upon me

The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way

The happiness that being with you brings me

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spendin' time with you

And it's the little things that make a house a home

Like a fire softly burnin', supper on the stove

But it's the light in her eyes that keeps me warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again

Sometimes this old land feels like a long-lost friend

Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

I say, hey, it's good to be back home again
