lyrics

ON THEIR WAY BACK HOME

My daddy played some baseball before the old parks disappeared.
My uncle Earl loves that Gibson but he ain't played that thing in years.
And when we're all together and their stories come,
Their eyes go far away and their hearts start to run.

CHORUS
They're On Their Way Back Home.
In their minds back in time where all their seeds were sown.
Older eyes are young again, skipping stones, best of friends
On summer days they prayed would never end.
They're On Their Way Back Home.

Back then they made a living with hands and hearts and backs like steel,
Keeping one hand on the Good Book and one hand on the wheel.
And when they tell their stories of those days gone by,
Their weary hands grow strong and their hearts start to fly.

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
They're on their way . . . on their way . . .
Home is where you come from and home is where you'll go.

The years are rushing by now, I got stories of my own.
I can hear my children laughing, their story still untold.
And one day when we're together and my stories come,
My eyes will go far away and my heart will start to run.

REPEAT CHORUS
