Homecoming - Tom T.Hall[00:00:00]
I guess I should've written, Dad[00:00:08]
To let you know that I was coming home[00:00:09]
I've been gone so many years[00:00:16]
I didn't realize you had a phone[00:00:18]
I saw your cattle coming in[00:00:23]
Boy, they're looking mighty fat and slick[00:00:26]
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[00:00:39]
Oh, well, it's just another song[00:00:41]
But I've got a hit recorded[00:00:46]
And it'll be out on the market 'fore too long[00:00:48]
I got this ring in Mexico[00:00:54]
No, it didn't cost me quite a bunch[00:00:56]
When you're in the business that I'm in[00:01:02]
The people call it puttin' up a front[00:01:04]
I know I've lost a little weight[00:01:10]
An' I guess I am looking kind of pale[00:01:12]
If you didn't know me better, Dad[00:01:18]
You'd think that I'd just gotten out of jail[00:01:20]
No, we don't ever call them beer joints[00:01:25]
Night clubs are the places where I work[00:01:27]
You meet a lot of people there[00:01:33]
But no, there ain't no chance of gettin' hurt[00:01:35]
I'm sorry that I couldn't be here with you all[00:01:41]
When Momma passed away[00:01:44]
I was on the road and when they came and told me[00:01:49]
It was just too late[00:01:52]
I drove by the grave to see her[00:01:57]
Boy, 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[00:02:07]
Well, I knew you was gonna ask me[00:02:12]
Who the lady is that's sleeping in the car[00:02:14]
That's just a girl who works for me[00:02:20]
And 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[00:02:36]
And to tell the truth I guess she needs the rest[00:02:38]
Well, Dad, I gotta go[00:02:44]
We got a dance to work in Cartersville tonight[00:02:45]
Let me take your number down[00:02:52]
I'll call you and I promise you I'll write[00:02:53]
Now you be good don't 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]
