Lyrics
COMING HOME BLUES
W-Larry M Clark BMI P-Ellemsee Music BMI larrymyrtus@yahoo.com
VERSE 1
The old windmill goes round and round,
the old wellpump goes up and down
My old Hound sadly bays the news,
this old boy's got the coming home blues, coming home blues
Mom and Dad both try to smile,
hope I'll stay for a little while
But I've got to go when the day gets new,
got to get away from the coming home blues
VERSE 2
It's nice to eat a homecooked meal,
nice to know that home is real
But it's only nice for a day or two,
then I get the coming home blues, coming home blues
It's good to see the old homeplace,
good to see a smiling face
But it don't take long to overdo
the feeling of the coming home blues
BRIDGE
Coming home blues, coming home blues
sitting in the parlor hearing latest news
My friends have all moved on with their lives
They're all married with Children and wives
And I'm bored to tears, I've been traveling too many years
VERSE 3
I love my Mom and I love my Dad
and I know that it makes them sad
If I don't get home for a month or two,
they don't know bout the coming home blues, coming home blues
It's hard for Mom to understand,
how a Son grows up and becomes a man
And wants to find that something new
and hardly ever gets the coming home blues
