Early morn? glowin?, blue norther blowin
As only a Texas blue norther can blow
Pick up truck busted, not a dime in his britches
Pulls his mackintosh tighter, the cowboy starts walkin

He?s headed towards heaven, where the home fires are burning
And there?s biscuits smothered in gravy
But best of all, Cecelia

And when he dreams at night, she?s layin by his side
He feels her warmth, he knows its timeless
She?ll always be there

A ?53 Chevy pulls off on the shoulder
They tell him they?re goin as far as Del Rio
And it?s been so damn long, all he wants now is home
See the night Texas sky though the eyes of his woman

He?s headed towards heaven, where the home fires are burnin
There?s a song that he holds in his heart
Inspired by, Cecelia

He?s goin home
