Chris Ledoux Homecoming Lyrics

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
