John Denver - Back Home Again

 There's a storm across the valley clouds are rolling in

The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders

There's a truck out on the four lane a mile or more away

The whining of his wheels just makes it colder.

He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky

And ten days on the road are barely gone

There's a fire softly burning supper's on the stove

It's the light in your eyes that makes him warm.

  Hey, it's good to be back home again

  Sometimes this old farm feels like a long-lost friend

  Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again.

There's all the news to tell him how you've spent your time

What's the latest thing the neighbours say?

And your mother called last Friday sunshine made her cry

You felt the baby move just yesterday.

And all the time that I can lay this tired old body down

To feel your fingers, feather soft upon me

The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way

The happiness that living with you brings me.

It's the sweetest thing I know of just spending time with you

It's the little things that make a house a home

Like a fire softly burning supper on the stove

The light in your eyes, it makes me warm.

      John Denver wrote "Back Home Again" about that feeling of being on the road and missing the simple pleasures of life at home, like spending time with friends and family and enjoying home-cooked meals.
