The Home Stretch |
| Turned off the interstate at midnight |
| Made the home stretch once again |
| I grew up running up and down this old road |
| Boy, it’s changed a lot since way back then |
| Warm familiar feeling highway, twenty miles of memories |
| Mama and Papa, they still live there |
| So more than anywhere it’s home to me The home stretch |
| I’m on the home stretch |
| This old truck can’t take me fast enough down the home stretch |
| When Papa called his voice was shaking |
| It never trembled in his prime |
| He said «Son, your mama’s rounded that last turn» |
| She’s calling for you boy, and you don’t have much time |
| Mama wasn’t afraid of dying |
| Just a trip to Heaven for her reward |
| She said «It's only part of living. |
| The dyin’s easy, but the leavin’s hard |
| We were holding hands when Mama slipped away |
| Through my tears I saw her smile, then I heard her say |
| The home stretch, I’m on the home stretch |
| Angel’s wings can’t take me fast enough down the home stretch |
| Warm familiar feeling highway |
| Down the home stretch once again |
