Back Home Again

There's a storm across valley
Clouds are rolling in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders.
There's a truck out on the forelane
A mile or so away.
And the whining of his wheels just makes it colder

He's an hour away from riding
On your prayer up in the sky
Ten days on the road, 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 far feels like a long lost friend
Yes, hey it's good to be back home again

Well there's all the news to tell him
How'd you spend your time?
And what's the latest thing the neighbours 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 far feels like a long lost friend
Yes, hey it's good to be back home again

Oh the time that I can lay this tired old body down
And feel your fingers, feather soft upon me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that living with you brings me

It's the sweetest thing I know of
Just spending time with you
It's the little thing that makes a house a home
Like a fire softly burning
and supper on the stove
And the light in your eyes that makes me warm

Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old far feels like a long lost friend
Yes, hey it's good to be back home again
Yes, hey it's good to be back home again
