Homecoming

While driving down the last four miles of gravel road to home
All the old familiar landmarks seem like long lost friends
As he pulls into the ranch, he sees mom hangin' out the wash
And dad's ridin' down the hill on Old Smoky
He never realized what a good cook his mom was
I guess he took a lot of things for granted
But for the past year, he's been living on bologna, burgers, and beans
And he thinks he might just stay home for a while

Well, there's a dance in town tonight
And he figures he'll just go in and see some of his old friends
Well, he runs into Bill and John and they ask
Where all he's been and about the bulls
And then behind him, he hears someone call his name
He turns around to see a beautiful young lady
He doesn't recognize her at first and then it dawns on him
This is that same skinny little girl that used to
Tag along with him back in high school
My how the flower's grown

Well, they dance and talk about things
And somewhere around midnight for the first time in his life
The cowboy realizes he's fallin' in love
And you know what I guess it was bound to happen
