The Home Fire

Pardon the smile on my face my friend
 Dreamin' of reachin' my journeys end
 I'm headin' straight for my hearts desire
 Gee, it's good to know I'm near the home fire
 All of the folks that I love are there
 I got a date with my favourite chair
 With every step every hope grows higher
 Didn't know how much I missed the home fire
 The noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
 The cat always teasin' my dog
 The neighbours, the quarrels, the screaming of kids
 For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log
 Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
 Seven or eight dreams around the bend
 And if you're ever in town inquire
 We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
 Yes, the noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
 The cat always teasin' my dog
 The neighbours, the quarrels, the scream of the kids
 For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log
 Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
 Seven or eight dreams around the bend
 And if you're ever in town inquire
 We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
 We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
