Daddy's Home
Journey Home: A Tale of Longing and Love
Lyrics
On a cold southern highway
Reflecting on a desolate southern highway
Where no two roads meet
Emphasizing the isolation, where paths don't intersect
Leavin' dust for a payday
Leaving behind a trail of dust for a paycheck
While they're all still asleep
While others are still asleep
Now I stare in the distance
Contemplating and looking into the distance
Wonder when I'll see sun
Anticipating the sun's appearance
Feel some warmth in existence
Desiring warmth in life beyond just accomplishing tasks
Not just a job well done
Yearning for recognition beyond a job well done
In her face is a knowing
Noticing a knowing expression in someone's face
Its our means to an end
Understanding that it's a means to an end
In her eyes I can see them
Observing the origin of beauty in someone's eyes
Where their beauty began
Where the journey of their beauty started
I can still hear the voices
Recalling voices leading to a particular door
Trailing up to that door
Voices trailing up to a door, perhaps of home
Where the smiles and the kisses
Describing a place of smiles and kisses
Try to coax me for more
Where affection tempts for more
And I say to myself
Self-encouragement that it's only temporary
Its only for a while
Taking a moment with coffee for the next stretch
Take a sip of my coffee
Reflecting on the temporary nature of the situation
To the next hundredth mile
Preparing for the next hundred miles
Is daddy home, daddy home
Repeated expressions about the anticipation of daddy coming home
Is daddy home now
-Is daddy home, daddy home
-Is daddy home now
-Daddy home, daddy home, daddy home now
-Your daddy'll be home
-He'll be home in, a while
-Through the rain and the snow
Describing the journey through various weather conditions and scenes
And the foggy skies
-Passing trucks, passing deer, passing broken rides
-There's adventure and glamour, in those mountainous feats
-But the magics their faces, when I turn up our street
-Is daddy home, daddy home
Repeated expressions about the anticipation of daddy coming home
Is daddy home now
-Is daddy home, daddy home
-Is daddy home now
-Daddy home, daddy home, daddy home now
-Your daddy'll be home
-He'll be home in, awhile
-Is daddy home, daddy home
-Is daddy home now
-Is daddy home, daddy home
-Is daddy home now
-Daddy home, daddy home, daddy home now
-Your daddy'll be home
-He'll be home in, awhile
As I walk through that door, my children go wild
Describing the joyful chaos when entering the home and the transient nature of being home
Daddy's home now, for a while
