Linda Davis The Boy Back Home Lyrics

The Boy Back Home Lyrics

The first time she saw him he stood at home plate

He knocked that curve ball
almost out of state

The crowd went wild

He kinda smiled

And her
heart melted away

The last time she saw him was at the airport
gate

He'd write from college every other day

Letters sent

With good
intent

But the miles got in the way

She tried to fall again

And
every now and then she got real close

But it never worked out right

And
with every sad goodbye her mind goes to



The boy back home

And their
favorite song

And more shining stars than a girl could wish upon

Where
there were no dreams

Out of reach

She'd go anywhere to find the boy
back home



She drove last weekend to the old home town

Their
favorite soda shop had been torn down

The drive-in's gone

And her heart
longs

For a place that can't be found

And in the hours spent

In
youthful innocence

Safe in the arms of



The boy back home

And
their favorite song

And more shining stars than a girl could wish
upon

Where there were no dreams

Out of reach

She'd go anywhere to
find the boy back home
