Home By The River
Journey of Love and Homecoming in 'Home By The River'
Lyrics
Standing on the corner
Reflecting on a street corner
Been a Long hard Day
Endured a long, challenging day
I’m Still in My work boots
Still wearing work boots
I’m Getting on my Way
Heading home
There’s a bar on the corner
A bar on the corner with a pleasant atmosphere
Jasmine’s in the air
Sense of fragrance, possibly from Jasmine flowers
The Parking Lot is Full
The parking lot is crowded
All my buddies are up in there
Friends are inside the bar
Home by the river
Expressing a desire for a home by the river
Home by the road
Emphasizing the connection to a road
Home for suppertime
Home for supper
A couple of rounds before I go
Having a couple of drinks before leaving
A couple of rounds before I go
Repeating the idea of having a couple of drinks before departure
Got a good woman waiting
Highlighting a loyal and patient partner
Won’t make her wait long
Promising not to keep the partner waiting
If she knew that she was waiting
Imagining the partner's impatience if aware of waiting
She’d tell me “ Get on Home”
Partner urging to come home
But her arms are open
Describing the partner's welcoming attitude
She Likes being mine
Expressing the partner's contentment in the relationship
Full of Forgiveness
Emphasizing the partner's forgiving nature
She knows where to draw the line
Understanding boundaries in the relationship

Bridge
Bridge (not specified in lyrics)
Sometime’s when I’m away
Sensing the partner's presence even when apart
I can feel her near
Appreciating the partner's positive impact on life
Can’t imagine my life
Expressing gratitude for the partner's role in a fulfilling life
Being better to me
Expressing willingness to ask for more time when called away
When my numbers called and
Acknowledging the greatest love
I gotta go
Accepting the inevitability of leaving
I’ll ask for a little more time
Seeking more time with the greatest love
With the greatest
Expressing affection for the greatest love
Love I know
Conveying love as the most significant
Chorus 2x
Repeating the chorus (second time)
