《Homecoming》歌词

[00:00:00] Homecoming - Tom T.Hall

[00:00:08] I guess I should've written, Dad

[00:00:09] To let you know that I was coming home

[00:00:16] I've been gone so many years

[00:00:18] I didn't realize you had a phone

[00:00:23] I saw your cattle coming in

[00:00:26] Boy, they're looking mighty fat and slick

[00:00:31] I saw Fred at the service station

[00:00:33] Told me that his wife is awful sick

[00:00:39] You heard my record on the radio

[00:00:41] Oh, well, it's just another song

[00:00:46] But I've got a hit recorded

[00:00:48] And it'll be out on the market 'fore too long

[00:00:54] I got this ring in Mexico

[00:00:56] No, it didn't cost me quite a bunch

[00:01:02] When you're in the business that I'm in

[00:01:04] The people call it puttin' up a front

[00:01:10] I know I've lost a little weight

[00:01:12] An' I guess I am looking kind of pale

[00:01:18] If you didn't know me better, Dad

[00:01:20] You'd think that I'd just gotten out of jail

[00:01:25] No, we don't ever call them beer joints

[00:01:27] Night clubs are the places where I work

[00:01:33] You meet a lot of people there

[00:01:35] But no, there ain't no chance of gettin' hurt

[00:01:41] I'm sorry that I couldn't be here with you all

[00:01:44] When Momma passed away

[00:01:49] I was on the road and when they came and told me

[00:01:52] It was just too late

[00:01:57] I drove by the grave to see her

[00:01:59] Boy, that really is a pretty stone

[00:02:04] I'm glad that Fred and Jan are here

[00:02:07] It's better than you being here alone

[00:02:12] Well, I knew you was gonna ask me

[00:02:14] Who the lady is that's sleeping in the car

[00:02:20] That's just a girl who works for me

[00:02:22] And man, she plays a pretty mean guitar

[00:02:28] We worked in San Antone last night

[00:02:30] She didn't even have the time to dress

[00:02:36] She drove me down from Nashville

[00:02:38] And to tell the truth I guess she needs the rest

[00:02:44] Well, Dad, I gotta go

[00:02:45] We got a dance to work in Cartersville tonight

[00:02:52] Let me take your number down

[00:02:53] I'll call you and I promise you I'll write

[00:02:59] Now you be good don't be chasin'

[00:03:01] All those pretty women that you know

[00:03:07] And by the way if you see Barbara Walker

[00:03:10] Tell her that I said, "Hello"
