Product Description
A fun, country-style song about good memories of mom and coming home again. Music by Kevin G. Pace. Text by Kathryn W. Hales.
Text:
The teacher said I had done a good job,
And applied a bright shiny star,
At the To the top of the grammar school paper,
"I cannot wait to show it to Ma.
The coach said that old cut was nothin at all,
Though it might just leave a scar.
You've just gotta be tough," he said with voice so gruff,
"I know Mama's kiss can heal from a far."
Chorus:
I'm comin' back home to you, Mama,
Though my steps have taken me so far,
Oh, praise for a star and a kiss for a scar,
I am comin' back home to where you are. .
"I've grown now, moved on or so they say,
Cut those old apron strings,
Though your hair is as snow, your voice so low,
Your face such sweet memories bring.
Across the wide world I've traveled,
The miles between us are long,
But through the years, the fears, and through the tears,
Your smile floats to me like a song.
Chorus:
Ending:
When life's road gets rough
And the goin' gets so tough,
Home will be wherever;
Wherever you are.
