Lyrics

"Back Home Again "

DOWN ON HIS KNEES, BUCKET'S IN PLACE
SWEAT ON HIS BROW FROM MILKIN' THE COWS YEARS ON HIS FACE
THE SUN'S STILL ASLEEP, THAT OLE' ROOSTER IS TOO
I HEAR DADDY SAY "I GOT A JUMP ON THE DAY BOY SHOULDN'T YOU"
MOMMA'S BAKIN' BREAD, I SMELL APPLES AND DATES
JELLIES AND JAM HOTCAKES AND HAM WERE WAITIN' IN MY PLATE

CHORUS
IF I CLOSE MY EYES EVERY NOW AND THEN
I HEAR DADDY SAY "I GOT A JUMP ON THE DAY"
AND I'M BACK HOME AGAIN, BACK HOME AGAIN

MY HOUND DOG BARKS AT A CRITTER NEAR THE BARN
IN A ROPE BOTTOM CHAIR GRANDMA'S SITTIN' THERE WITH HER NEEDLES AND YARN
HUNGRY HAWK IN THE SKY, SNAPPIN' TURTLE IN THE LAKE
AT THE OLE' FISHIN' HOLE A LOUD CROKIN' TOAD IN STEELIN' OUR BAIT
WHEN WE DROVE INTO TOWN ME AND DADDY HAD A DEAL
I COULD PUT ON HIS CAP SIT ON HIS LAP WITH MY HANDS ON THE WHEEL

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
THERE WAS NOTHIN I COULD DO NO HE NEVER LET ON
EVEN MOMMA NEVER KNEW THE BILLS WERE OVER DUE
TILL DADDY LOST THE FARM

NOW DADDY'S GONE, IN OUR HEARTS HE LIVES ON
I MADE HIM A VOW I KNOW HE'D BE PROUD
I BOUGHT BACK THE FARM
NOW MY SON'S BY MY SIDE AND WE'VE GOT OUR CHORES TO DO
EVERY MORNIN' I SAY " I GOT A JUMP ON THE DAY BOY SHOULDN'T YOU".
LATELY I'M FEELIN TIRED BARELY MAKE IT THROUGH THE DAY
THEN DOWN GOES THE SUN ALL THE WORK IS DONE
IT'S TIME TO HIT THE HAY

THEN IT'S DOWN ON MY KNEES, BUCKET'S IN PLACE
SWEAT ON MY BROW FROM MILKIN' THE COWS YEARS ON MY FACE
