Lyrics
I'M NEARLY HOME
Just beyond this hilltop there's a river and a farm
I used to drive this highway with my girlfriend on my arm
I haven't seen her or my family in a year
But I can feel them drawing near
I'm nearly home
Chorus:
I'm nearly home
Nearly home
My mama will be crying and my dad will act real tough
Three generations are gonna smother me with love
My old dog Willie will come bounding toward the car
And there'll be yellow ribbons on every tree in my front yard
I'm nearly home
Nearly home
I've seen a lot of things that I'd just as soon forget
I've put some of them behind me, but some I haven't yet
Folks can be so cruel, oh but they can be so kind
And I know where there's peace of mind
I'm nearly home
2nd Chorus:
I'm nearly home
Nearly home
My grandma and my aunts have cooked for two days in a row
My sister's got a newborn that I've got to get to know
Across the creek and past the Quick Sack, then the second right
A little piece of heaven's where I'm gonna spend to night
I'm nearly home
Nearly home
Bridge:
I think about the others that didn't make it back with me
I'll plant a garden, fly the flag, and thank God that I'm free
1st Chorus
Rob Simbeck and Frank Michels
