He's On The Way Home

In the style of

Tony Toliver

Lyrics

when the phone
would ring
as a kid i recall

my brothers and i
would race
down the hall
it never rang twice
when daddy was out
on the road

bein' the oldest
i'd usually win
and they'd
stand around
askin' me is it him
i remember how
mama's face glowed

when i let
everyone know
he's on the way home
his work is through
he said to hold on
he'll be here soon

he's been
countin' the days
and he's been gone
way too long
now he's
on the way home

and just like us kids
time moved on
look at me now
i got kids of my own

and it's hard
to believe
mama's been gone
three years

bein' the oldest
i got the call today
sayin' that daddy
had just passed away
in my heart i know
mama could hear
as i whispered
through my tears

he's on the way home
his work is through
mama hold on
he'll be there soon

he's been
countin' the days
and you've been gone
way too long
but he's
on the way home

oh staring
out the window
at the sunrise
it's like i'm lookin'
into mama's eyes

and standin'
here in the glow
is like she's
telling me she knows
he's on the way home
his work is through
mama hold on
he'll be there soon

he's been
countin' the days
and you've been gone
way too long
and you've been gone
way too long
now he's
on the way home
