Back Home Again Lyrics By John Denver

    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
    and 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’d you spend your time
    what’s the latest thing the neighbors say
    and your mother called last friday
    sunshine made her cry
    you felt the baby move just yesterday

    hey it’s good to be back home again yes it is
    sometimes this old farm
    feels like a long lost friend
    yes and hey it’s good to be back home again

    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

    4
    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’s on the stove
    the light in your eyes that makes me 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

    hey it’s good to be back home again oh it is
    sometimes this old farm
    feels like a long lost friend
    hey it’s good to be back home again
    i said hey it’s good to be back home again
