[00:36.29]Almost home [00:37.53]And I miss the bottom stair [00:41.28]You were braiding your grey hair [00:45.35]And it's grown so long [00:47.67]Since I've been gone [00:53.20]Now the perfect girls [00:54.83]By the pool they would protest [00:57.69]With crosses 'round their necks [01:02.59]But our sons were overseas [01:03.72]And we all know about the hive and the honey bees [01:26.09]Almost home [01:26.53]With an olive branch and a dove [01:31.70]You were beating on a persian rug [01:34.18]With your Bible and your wedding band [01:38.24]Both hidden on the TV stand [01:40.87]And the cruel wind blew [01:45.82]Every city father fell [01:47.70]Off the county carousel [01:51.83]While the dogs were eating snow [01:54.33]All our sons had sunk in a trunk [01:58.98]Of no one's clothes [02:03.17]Almost home [02:15.31]We got lost on our new street [02:17.61]While your grieving girls all died in their sleep [02:19.99]So the dogs all went unfed [02:21.55]A great dream of bones all piled on a bed [02:24.05]And the cops couldn't care [02:25.12]When that crackhead built a boat [02:26.30]And said please before I go [02:27.49]May your only honor bought [02:28.48]Be the kinship of the kids in the riot squad
