Coming Home Of The Son And Brother Lyrics - Singles - Robert Earl Keen

Time for the singer 

Time for the singer boy to make his way home 

A prodigal I've been distressed 

This lonely child can't make it on his own 

I've been traveling states away 

I've been playing in a bluegrass band 

Now it's the coming home 

Of the son and brother again 

Time has slipped away 

I don't know if I can play another tune 

They want me to build single handed 

A road up to the moon 

They only pay me nickels and dimes 

In a game that I can never win 

So it's the coming home 

Of the son and brother again 

It's been a long long time 

Since I've seen all of my family and friends 

I want to hear them tell their stories 

Tell 'em all about the places I have been 

So open all your doors up wide 

Invite all the neighbors in 

For the coming home 

Of the son and brother again
