She opened up the letter from Nashville Tennessee
|
He said hon they like my music the songs I wrote for you and me
|
The boys and me just cut a record and it could hit the charts before too long
|
So it's gonna be a while till I can come back home
|
Yes I'm gonna be a country star and everyone will know my name
|
Oh you know I love those bright lights when I step on stage to sing
|
I'll be travlin' round the country with a big bus and a band
|
So just keep the homefires burnin' while I'm gone
|
And I'll get home when I can
|
|
She said hon I hear your record oh they play it everyday
|
And everybody really likes it so I guess your on your way
|
But darling please remember we all need you here at home
|
And the kids all miss their daddy so don't be gone too long
|
Yes I know that your a country star and everybody knows your name
|
And I know you love those bright lights when you step on stage to sing
|
Just remember we all love you and don't get blinded by the light
|
We'll just keep the homefires burnin' while you're gone
|
You know we pray for you each night
|
|
After six long months of goin' I guess the road just finally took its toll
|
Cause his songs has lost all meaning and he felt so all alone
|
Then one night in Jackson he went out on stage to play
|
And the crowd stared at disbelief at the words he had to say
|
I don't want to be a country star it ain't the way I thought it'd be
|
Well it took me such a long time to know that it ain't the life for me
|
Cause the days can get so lonely and the nights can get so long
|
Lord I think it's about time this country star went home
|
Yes I think that it's about time this country boy went home
|
