Homecoming - Bobby Bare[00:00:00]
I guess I should have written dad[00:00:09]
To let you know that I was coming home[00:00:11]
But I've been gone so many years[00:00:17]
I didn't realize you had a phone[00:00:20]
I saw your cattle comin' in and boy[00:00:26]
They're looking mighty fat and sleek[00:00:29]
I saw fred at the service station he told me[00:00:35]
That his wife was awful sick[00:00:38]
You heard my record on the radio[00:00:44]
Oh well it's just another song[00:00:47]
But I've got a hit recorded dad[00:00:53]
It'll be out on the market before too long[00:00:55]
Oh I got this ring in mexico[00:01:01]
You know it didn't cost me quite a bunch[00:01:04]
When you're in the business[00:01:11]
That I'm in the people call it puttin' up a front[00:01:12]
I know I've lost a little weight[00:01:20]
And I guess I'm a looking kinda pale[00:01:22]
If you didn't know me better dad you'd think[00:01:28]
That I've just gotten out of jail[00:01:31]
No we don't ever call them beer joints night clubs[00:01:37]
Are the places where I work[00:01:40]
You meet a lotta people there[00:01:46]
But no there ain't much chance of gettin' hurt[00:01:48]
I'm sorry that I couldn't be here[00:01:55]
With you all when mama passed away[00:01:57]
I was on the road and when they came[00:02:04]
And told me it was just too late[00:02:07]
I drove by the grave to see her and boy[00:02:12]
That really is a pretty stone[00:02:16]
I'm glad that fred and jan are here[00:02:22]
It's better than you being here alone[00:02:24]
I knew you's gonna ask me who the lady is[00:02:31]
Who's sleepin' in the car[00:02:34]
That's just the girl that works for me[00:02:39]
And man she plays a pretty mean guitar[00:02:42]
We worked in san antone last night[00:02:48]
She didn't even have the time to dress[00:02:51]
She drove me in from nashville[00:02:57]
And to tell the truth I guess she needs the rest[00:02:59]
Well dad I gotta go we got a dance[00:03:06]
To work in cartersville tonight[00:03:09]
Let me take your number down[00:03:15]
I'll call you and I promise you I'll write[00:03:17]
Now you be good and don't be chasin'[00:03:24]
All those pretty women that you know[00:03:26]
And by the way if you see barbara walker[00:03:32]
Tell her that I said hello[00:03:35]
