ORIGINAL LYRICS

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

 

He's an hour away from riding
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
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, and hey, it's good to be back home again

 

There's all the news to tell him
How you've spent your time
What's the latest thing the neighbors say?
And your mother called last Friday
Sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday

 

Hey, it's good to be back home again, yes, it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again

 

And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down
To 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 things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning
Supper on the stove
The light in your eyes, it makes me warm

 

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

 

Hey, it's good to be back home again, you know it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend
Hey, it's good to be back home again


I said, hey, it's good to be back home again
