Lyric
There’s a storm across valley
Clouds are rolling in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There’s a truck out on the forelane
A mile or so away
And the whining of his wheels just makes it colderHe’s an hour away from riding
On your prayer up in the sky
Ten days on the road, barely goneThere’s a fire softly burning
Supper’s on the stove
But it’s the light in your eyes
That makes him warmHey, it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old far feels like a long lost friend
Yes, hey it’s good to be back home againWell there’s all the news to tell him
How’d you spend your time?
And what’s the latest thing the neighbours say?
And your mother called last Friday
Sunshine made her cry
And you felt the baby move just yesterdayHey, it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old far feels like a long lost friend
Yes, hey it’s good to be back home againOh 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 living with you brings meIt’s the sweetest thing I know of
Just spending time with you
It’s the little thing that makes a house a home
Like a fire softly burning
And supper on the stove
And the light in your eyes that makes me warmHey, it’s good to be back home again
Sometimes this old far feels like a long lost friend
Yes, hey it’s good to be back home again
Yes, hey it’s good to be back home again
