Home Again

Listen to a Sample

i see the corn rising in the heat
and the ham sliced paper thin
my ma, she's pickin' her dandelions
daddy must be making wine again
twenty poles to power, and i'm counting every one
in less than one half hour i'll be home again

roy, he's waiting by his dinner plate
i've known him since i was ten years old
the world has never made a prince so sweet
and i've kissed about a thousand toads
we used to run through the lightning bugs
and they'd scatter through the sky like stars
we'd find our way home later
by the light of an old ball jar. . . home again

i hear an old banjo
as i'm pulling off the road
i'm finally going home. . . home again

one pole left and i'm overcome
thinking about all the love i've got
it may seem like some run-down farm
but to me, it's my camelot
when it's time to turn around
and hit that ol' highway
the tears will be falling
but i'll be back some day. . . home again

i hear that old banjo...
