Patty

When I was a child
You really showed me how
To be a good person mama
That’s why I wanna thank you now

When my father left
You really worked so hard
That’s why I wanna tell you
I’d be nowhere without your love

I could never repay you
When the morning light
Hits the dew, on the lawn
And the morning bird
Fills the world, with a song

That’s when I’ll be home
That’s when I’ll be home

I been thinking about
All the early days
You grew up so fast mama
You had kids to raise

And you did it well
And we’re all grown up
Just wanna tell you mama
I’d be nowhere without your love

I could never be that strong
When the morning light
Hits the dew, on the lawn
And the morning bird
Fills the world, with a song

That’s when I’ll be home
That’s when I’ll be home

And I’m sorry for
Not lending a hand
I been across the country
With a traveling band

Those summer winds
Really swept me away
But I won’t be gone forever
Comin’ back home some day, I know

How I really want to see you
When the morning light
Hits the dew, on the lawn
And the morning bird
Fills the world, with a song

That’s when I’ll be home
That’s when I’ll be home
That’s when I’ll be home
