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 |
