Homecoming — текст песни (David Houston)





I guess I should have written Dad to let you know that I was coming home
But I`ve been gone so many years I didn`t realize you had a phone
I saw your cattle comin` in and boy they`re looking mighty fine and sleek
I saw Fred at the service station he told me that his wife was awfuly sick
You heard my record on the radio oh well it`s just another song
Got a hit recorded and it`ll be out on the market `fore too long
I got this ring in Mexico you know it didn`t cost me quite a bunch
When you`re in the business that I`m in the people call it puttin` up a front
I know I`ve lost a little weight and I guess I`m looking kinda pale
If you didn`t know me better Dad you`d think that I`ve just gotten out of jail
No we don`t call `em beer joints night clubs are the places where I work
You meet a lotta people there and no there ain`t much chance of gettin` hurt
I`m sorry that I couldn`t be here with you all when my Mama passed away
I was on the road and when they came and told me know it was just too late
I drove by the grave to see her boy that really is a pretty stone
I`m glad that Fred and Jan are here it`s better than you being here alone
I know you`re gonna ask me who the lady is that`s sleepin` in my car
That`s just the girl that works for me and man she plays a mighty fine guitar
We worked in San Antone last night she didn`t even had the time to dress
She drove me down from Nashville and to tell the truth I guess she needs the rest
Well Dad I gotta go we got a dance to work in Cedargrove tonight
Lemme ride your number down I`ll call you and I promise you I`ll write
Now you be good and don`t be chasin` all them pretty women that you know
And by the way if you see Barbara Walker tell her that I said hello
