There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away
the whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
and ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning; supper's on the stove
but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again
After all the news to tell him: how's you spend your time?
And what's the latest thing the neighbors say
and your mother called last friday; "Sunshine" made her cry
and you felt the baby move just yesterday
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, 'n, hey it's good to be back home again
And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
and feel your fingers feather soft up-on me
the kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
the happiness that livin' with you brings me
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
it's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm
