Somewhere to Come Home To

Somewhere To Come Home To

I want a small room with a feather bed
a familiar spot to lay my head
with a fire burning and a friendly smile
and nothing to do for a while
I want somewhere to come home to..
I want somewhere to come home to..you

Home like a woman with long dark hair
Waitin' to meet me in an easy chair
rock me to sleep with a gentle song
where the days are short and the nights are long
I want somewhere to come home to..
I want somewhere to come home to..you

Wanna find peace, but grandma said
Son, trouble's only over when you're dead
I said "oh grandma don't you fear
good Lord'll never find us here"

Amble on down to the river bed
whole lotta nothing running through my head
jump in to wash these sins away
long for all that makes me stay
I want somewhere to come home to..
I want somewhere to come home to..you

Lookin' for comfort in a safe abode
Following' my heart off the main road
wanna live and die where I was born
where the scrapbook's frayed but never torn
I want somewhere to come home to..
I want somewhere to come home to..you

Wanna find peace, but grandma said
Son, trouble's only over when you're dead
I said "oh grandma don't you fear
good Lord'll never find us here"

I want somewhere to come home to..
I want somewhere to come home to..you
