Chris Ledoux - Homecoming lyrics

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 in to the ranch he see's his mom hangin' out the wash And dad is ridin' down the old yellow with old smokie He never realized what a good cook his mom was I guess he took a lot of things for granite But for the past year he has been living on blogne burgers and beans And he thinks he just might stay home for awhile 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 Well then from behind him he hears someone call his name He turns around to see a beautiful young lady He doesn't recognise him at first but then it dawns on him This is the same skinny little girl who use to tag along with him back in high school My how the flowers grow well they danced and talked about things And somewhere around midnight for the first time in his life The cowboy realizes he is fallin' in love And you know what I guess it was bound to happen
