Chris LeDoux Lyrics
"Homecoming"

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
