COME ON HOME

My blue eyed son
So damn quiet and empty
In years that you've been gone
We'll have a beer
By the redbud tree
Before you fly away
Like a honey bee

Friends may come
And friends will go
Say the words forever and always
You know it's not quite so
They'll hang around
The redbud tree
Then fly away
Like a honey bee

Come on home
Come on home
Lay your head and heart
And rest you tired bones
My honey bee
You'll find the key
Still in your heart you'll see
Come on home

Lovers too
Will play their part
Bring you gifts and sweet things
Of course they'll break your heart
Make love to you by the redbud tree
Then fly away
Like a honey bee

Come on home
Come on home
Lay your head and heart
And rest you tired bones
My honey bee
You'll find the key
Still in your heart you'll see
Come on home

My brown eyed girl
Just me and you
Years of grace and memories
I guess we always knew
That one would stay
By the redbud tree
The other fly away
Like a honey bee
