Basin Street Blues

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in

The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders

There's a truck out on the four-lane, a mile or more away

The whining of his wheels just makes it colder

He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky

And ten days on the road are barely gone

There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove

But it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm

Hey it's good to be back home again

Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend

Hey it's good to be back home again

After all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time

And what's the latest thing the neighbors say

And your mother called last Friday, "Sunshine" made her cry

And you felt the baby move just yesterday

And oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down

Feel your fingers feather soft upon me

The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way

The happiness that livin' with you brings me

It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you

The little things that make a house a home

Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove

And the light in your eyes that makes me warm
