Episode 9 To Be Home Again

To Be Home Again is the 9th track on Tallsome Tales.

I left my home when I was just seventeen I knew all there was to know I packed my bags and drove as far as I could No one to tell me where to go

Got me a job selling gas and cigarettes Graveyard shift was all I could find Married the first gal paid attention to me No one to tell me I was blind

Oh to be home again It was heaven to me It was my sacred ground for years Been gone so long Makes it hard to see Just what that home meant to me

Thirty years of trying to make my ends meet Creditors been knocking at my door My wife and kids walked out on me a lifetime ago Grief and sorrow burns me to the core

I had not seen my folks for all these worn out years But there was nowhere else I could turn They took me in with open arms and love to spare Asking for nothing in return

Oh to be home again It's heaven to me I've found my sacred ground right here It's taken o so long for Me to see Just what my home means to me
