He's Coming Home Lyrics - Singles - Cowboy Crush

Well it took us by surprise when 

He came home and told us 

He just joined the army 

Mama cried and left the room 

Like Mamas do and simply said 

You should have warned me 

Daddy threw his arms around his neck 

Said Dont mind her you know 

She really loves you. 

Then he shook his hand and said My friend 

I think youll make one hell of a soldier. 

Things remain the same until 

The day he had to leave 

As we waved goodbye mama said to me 

He's coming home 

Out front of that bus depot 

We all watched his arm 

Reach out the window 

Giving us the peace sign, oh 

God we hate to watch him go 

But no matter how far apart we are 

We know 

He's coming home 

A mamas premonition 

There aint nothing like it 

We all watched in anger 

As the newsman forced a smile 

And warned the country 

That we all love is now in danger 

Mamas baby went from boot camp drills 

To standing in a field holding a rifle 

His mind shifts from army grants 

To finish school and be someone 

To mere survival 

With each letter that he sent 

Before we read it 

We all prayed it would be the one to tell us 

Hes coming home 

Mama read each and every one 

As we passed around the latest picture 

Of him giving us the peace sign, oh 

Hed been the same since hes been gone 

But no matter how far apart we are 

We know 

Hes coming home 

As the war dust slowly disappeared 

We all sat in fear 

And feared the worst 

Til the moment that phone rang 

And he asked if he could talk to mama first 

He's coming home 

Please tell me hes coming home 

Words cant describe what I was feeling 

When mama shot us all the peace sign 

Tears rolled when she hung up the phone 

Hit her knees and thanked the Lord above 

My boys coming home 

He's coming home 

Hes coming home 

Hes coming home
