(part 162) LONG ROAD HOME

LONG ROAD HOME
SEEMS FAR AWAY
LAY DOWN EACH MISERY
COME HOME TO STAY

LOAD OF OLD COTTON
ROLLIN' ALONG
MAKE ME A SOFT BED
SO I CAN GROW STRONG

BEEN ON THIS ROAD
MOST OF MY YEARS
LEFT A LONG TRAIL
OF OLD FRIENDS AND TEARS

GO DOWN VIRGINIA
STAY FOR AWHILE
NOTHIN' EXCITES ME
BUT YOU MAKE ME SMILE

LONG ROAD HOME
SOMEDAY I'LL FIND
JUST KEEP ON WALKIN'
THIS ROAD WILL UNWIND

    I've been going through a big life decision with my wife for the past few weeks, and reading this is making me cry, in a good way. Thank you, Bobby. You've done this before, you write something here, I read it, and it affects me deeply, in a needed way. If that makes sense.

    This piece needs only the tune to make a great, road weary song. "Nothing excites me, but you make me smile." Man, that is a great line!

    I can't help it. I'm going to have to repeat this on every comment for the next few times: It's great to have you back!

    Tim
