Lyrics of Homecoming

While driving down the last four miles of gravel road to home
All the old familiar landmarks seem like long lost friends
And as he pulls in to the ranch he sees his mom hangin' out the wash
And dad is ridin' down the hill with old smokie

He never realized what a good cook his mom was
Guess he took a lot of things for granted
But for the past year he has been living on bologna burgers and beans
And he thinks he might just stay home for awhile

Well, there's a dance in town tonight
And he figures he will 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 recognize her 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
