Lyrics Homecoming - Tom T. Hall
I
guess
I
should've
written,
Dad
To
let
you
know
that
I
was
coming
home
I've
been
gone
so
many
years
I
didn't
realize
you
had
a
phone
I
saw
your
cattle
coming
in
Boy,
they're
looking
mighty
fat
and
slick
I
saw
Fred
at
the
service
station
Told
me
that
his
wife
is
awful
sick
You
heard
my
record
on
the
radio
Oh,
well,
it's
just
another
song
But
I've
got
a
hit
recorded
And
it'll
be
out
on
the
market
'fore
too
long
I
got
this
ring
in
Mexico
No,
it
didn't
cost
me
quite
a
bunch
When
you're
in
the
business
that
I'm
in
The
people
call
it
puttin'
up
a
front
I
know
I've
lost
a
little
weight
An'
I
guess
I
am
looking
kind
of
pale
If
you
didn't
know
me
better,
Dad
You'd
think
that
I'd
just
gotten
out
of
jail
No,
we
don't
ever
call
them
beer
joints
Night
clubs
are
the
places
where
I
work
You
meet
a
lot
of
people
there
But
no,
there
ain't
no
chance
of
gettin'
hurt
I'm
sorry
that
I
couldn't
be
here
with
you
all
When
Momma
passed
away
I
was
on
the
road
and
when
they
came
and
told
me
It
was
just
too
late
I
drove
by
the
grave
to
see
her
Boy,
that
really
is
a
pretty
stone
I'm
glad
that
Fred
and
Jan
are
here
It's
better
than
you
being
here
alone
Well,
I
knew
you
was
gonna
ask
me
Who
the
lady
is
that's
sleeping
in
the
car
That's
just
a
girl
who
works
for
me
And
man,
she
plays
a
pretty
mean
guitar
We
worked
in
San
Antone
last
night
She
didn't
even
have
the
time
to
dress
She
drove
me
down
from
Nashville
And
to
tell
the
truth
I
guess
she
needs
the
rest
Well,
Dad,
I
gotta
go
We
got
a
dance
to
work
in
Cartersville
tonight
Let
me
take
your
number
down
I'll
call
you
and
I
promise
you
I'll
write
Now
you
be
good
and
don't
be
chasin'
All
those
pretty
women
that
you
know
And
by
the
way
if
you
see
Barbara
Walker
Tell
her
that
I
said,
"Hello"
