Home Before Dark |
| What a beautiful day it is here |
| And how beautiful you look out there |
| Just look great |
| I packed up my bags |
| Put in my favorite Levis |
| Laid my mandolin beside the door |
| I said to momma |
| I won’t be long |
| Don’t worry about me |
| I’ll be home before dark |
| I’ll be alright |
| And you’ll be fine without me |
| I’ll be home before dark |
| Bought a ticket to New York city |
| One way out and no return |
| I watched the sun go down across the plains from Denver |
| Lord, how the western sky can burn |
| Met a boy in the darkness |
| Handsome, tall and heartless |
| Loved him like an eagle loves the wind |
| Till I heard him say |
| I won’t be long |
| Don’t worry about me |
| I’ll be home before dark |
| I’ll be home |
| I’ll be alright |
| And you’ll be fine without me |
| I’ll be home before dark |
| My daughter looks like him they say |
| To me she looks like momma |
| I see an eagle’s shadow in her eyes |
| Last night at her birthday |
| We blew the candles out together |
| I wonder will she take me by surprise |
| When she says momma |
| I won’t be long |
| Don’t worry about me |
| I’ll be home before dark |
| I’ll be home |
| I’ll be alright |
| And you’ll be fine without me |
| I’ll be home before dark |
| I’ll be home before dark |
