I know that your wheat fields need workin' And there's just time Before the rain starts to fall But I can not stay for the harvest Cause tonight I'm headin' down south Goodbye I'll see y'all I hear there's a pipeline hirin' hands in Texas So I guess I'll go and BRush a well or two Can you wait until I make enough To get us through the winter For the days are short and cold and work is scarce The fragrance of your hair is in each meadow And your smile has touched the wind And as I work my way closer to you It feels so good to be close to home again Lord When the leaves fall from the trees look out your window And you'll see me a-coming up the road Run as fast as you can out to meet me And throw your arms around me Cause baby I'm home
