Lyric
There’s a storm across the valley the clouds’re rolling inThe afternoon is heavy on my shoulders There’s a truck on the forelane a mile or more away The whining of his wheels just makes it colder.I’m an hour away from ridin’ on your prayers up in the skiesTen days on the road I’m nearly home There’s a fire softly burning supper’s on the stove But the light in your eyes makes me warm.Hey, it’s good to be back home again, yes it isSometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Hey, it’s good to be back home again.There’s lots of news to tell you how I spent my timeAbout the lady’s things the neighbors say And your mother called at Friday something makes her cry And I felt our baby moved just yesterday.Hey, it’s good to have you home again, hmmSometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Hey, it’s good to have you home again.It’s the sweetest thing I know of just spendin’ time with youIt’s the little things that make a house a home Like a fire softly burning and supper’s on the stove But it’s the light in your eyes that makes me warm.Hey, it’s good to be back home again, yes it isSometimes this old farm Feels like a long lost friend Honey, it’s good to have you home again.Oh, ain’t it good to be together again?.
