Homecoming - Tom T. Hall[00:00:01]
Written by:Tom T. Hall[00:00:04]
I guess I should've written dad[00:00:08]
To let you know that I was coming home[00:00:10]
I've been gone so many years[00:00:16]
I didn't realize you had a phone[00:00:17]
I saw your cattle coming in[00:00:23]
Boy they're looking mighty fat and slick[00:00:25]
I saw fred at the service station[00:00:31]
Told me that his wife is awful sick[00:00:33]
You heard my record on the radio[00:00:38]
Oh well it's just another song[00:00:41]
But I've got a hit recorded and[00:00:46]
It'll be out on the market fore too long[00:00:48]
I got this ring in Mexico no[00:00:54]
It didn't cost me quite a bunch[00:00:57]
When you're in the business that[00:01:02]
I'm in the people call it puttin' up a front[00:01:03]
I know I've lost a little weight[00:01:10]
I guess I am looking kind of pale[00:01:12]
If you didn't know me better dad[00:01:17]
You'd think that I'd just gotten out of jail[00:01:19]
No we don't ever call them beer joints[00:01:25]
Night clubs are the places that I work[00:01:27]
You meet a lot of people there but no[00:01:33]
There ain't much chance of gettin' hurt[00:01:35]
I'm sorry that I couldn't be there with you[00:01:41]
All when momma passed away[00:01:44]
I was on the road and when they came[00:01:49]
And told me it was just too late[00:01:51]
I drove by the grave to see her boy[00:01:57]
That really is a pretty stone[00:01:59]
I'm glad that fred and jan are here[00:02:04]
It's better than you being here alone[00:02:06]
Well I knew yous gonna ask me who[00:02:12]
The lady is thats sleeping in the car[00:02:14]
Thats just a girl who works for me and[00:02:20]
Man she plays a pretty mean guitar[00:02:22]
We worked in san antone last night[00:02:28]
She didn't even have the time to dress[00:02:30]
She drove me down from nashville and[00:02:36]
To tell the truth I guess she needs the rest[00:02:38]
Well dad I gotta go we got a dance[00:02:43]
To work in cartersville tonight[00:02:46]
Let me take your number down I'll call you[00:02:51]
And I promise you I'll write[00:02:54]
Now you be good and dont be chasin'[00:02:59]
All those pretty women that you know[00:03:01]
And by the way if you see barbara walker[00:03:07]
Tell her that I said hello[00:03:10]
