1961 Lyrics - Till The Light Comes - Jackie Greene

He loved her back in 1961 

He held her through the night 

Till the dark was done 

But he's been gone now for several years 

Left her nothing but a letter to catch the tears 

He might not know it but she had his son 

Back in 1961 

She raised the baby 

And off to school he went 

She had help from the neighbors 

Along from the government

She tells herself that she did her best 

Through out all the trials, they had been blessed 

But she still longs to have her fun 

Like in 1961, oh 

He wakes up on a lonely stretch of road 

And driving rigs for a living 

Truckin' a heavy load 

His thoughts drift back to another time 

And a woman that he treated so unkind 

And wonders just what her life's become 

Since 1961 

He lays there now upon his dying bed 

Memories of lifetime's in his head 

Photos 

The nurse comes back, she says to him 

"You have a visitor, should I let him in?" 

And in walks a face that could only be his son 

From 1961, oh, from 1961, yeah, 1961, oh yeah 

I'm comin' home, oh, 1961, oh 

Yeah
