I'M COMIN' HOME 11/10/06

I've been away many miles
I've been away many years
I've laughed and cried and fought and strived
n' thrown back..a few beers

I've seen the 7 wonders of the world
Got myself a few degrees
But they are all losein' the trill for me

When I was 18 I fell in love with a girl
Then we forced to go our seperate ways
I've had a lot of women in a lot of countries
Mmmm but she's the only one for me

CHORUS:
I'm coming home I'm coming home
Leave a light on for me
My hearts a remindin'
I'm in love with a girl from '73
and oh how I hope she remembers me

There was Lilly and Rose n' someone Julia knows
But they didn't do anything for me
Didn't have her hair, her laugh, her hope and humility

When I was on a ship in the sea
'found a letter she wrote to me
said before I go promise you'l come back to marry me

CHORUS

She's in Boston now and married
and apologized anyway
'said "you do realize you're 50 years behind"
n'said "but i'm so glad you called cause actually I've been thinking about you...since '73"

I'm comin home I'm coming home
Leave a light on for me
I've been in love with the same ol' boy since '73
n' I'm oh so glad he remembered me.

Gotta love good ol' folk songs.
