DPapa's hitting the Croad again
Takes the Bbshow cross-Ccountry for Ahire
And the Dcrowds come and go
Secret Fagents getting bigger
CMom's holding sister in the chair
Turning pages of Bbphotographs
Warm in their memories
Falling asleep by the Dm9fire

To the highway where some new cowboys go
Drivers and drifters and rouges
And the crew's still working
Everybody's cracking jokes
Morning comes so easy
Sharing stories and forgetting time
Take the rest in the look in her eyes
As they go and close time

To the highway where some old cowboys go
Drivers and drifters and rouges

Hear old big boy telling jokes

Warm in their memories of
Falling asleep by the fire
Chorus/Bridge:
Papa's he driving past the night
He's working his way to make it home
The old man gonna be a sight
When the morning come, when the morning comes
Papa's coming home
