Time for the singer
|
Time for the singer boy to make his way home
|
A prodigal I’ve been distressed
|
This lonely child can’t make it on his own
|
I’ve been traveling states away
|
I’ve been playing in a bluegrass band
|
Now it’s the coming home
|
Of the son and brother again
|
|
Time has slipped away
|
I don’t know if I can play another tune
|
They want me to build single handed
|
A road up to the moon
|
They only pay me nickels and dimes
|
In a game that I can never win
|
So it’s the coming home
|
Of the son and brother again
|
|
It’s been a long long time
|
Since I’ve seen all of my family and friends
|
I want to hear them tell their stories
|
Tell ‘em all about the places I have been
|
So open all your doors up wide
|
Invite all the neighbors in
|
For the coming home
|
Of the son and brother again
|
