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' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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
