Lyrics
Honey, I'm Home
Verse 1-Left two girls back in ol' Topeka,
Miss 'em so bad I can barely sleep.
I gotta get back to them someday
'Cause the road is long and the nights are longer,
I gotta get home where I belong,
They're waitin' for me and I'm ready to say...
Chorus
Honey, I'm home.
Did you miss me? I missed you.
I was gone too long,
But there was something I had to do.
Please don't cry.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
I always come back every time I roam.
And honey, I'm home.
Verse 2-One is Jennifer, and Emily's the other,
And I love livin' with them and their mother.
And life is sweet, and so are they.
And the very best thing I find when I travel,
Is I realized how much I have and I'll
Always come home with a smile and say...
Chorus (same as above)
Guitar solo
Chorus
Honey, I'm home.
Did you miss me like I missed you?
I was gone too long,
But there was something I had to do.
Please don't cry.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
I always come back every time I roam.
And honey, I'm home.
Honey, I'm home... (guitar)
I was gone too long... (guitar)
Oh, please don't cry.
Wipe the tears from your eyes.
I always come back every time I roam.
And honey, I'm home.
I said I'd come back every time I roam,
And honey, I'm home.
I'll always come back every time I roam.
And honey, I'm home.
