Ronnie Milsap - She Keeps The Home Fires Burning Lyrics
Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy loadCoffee leaking through the paper sackThe foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grinHe's got me eight hours, she's got me after thatI can't wait 'til it's quittin' timeShe got something cookin' for me tonightShe keeps the homefires burningWhile I'm out earning a living in a worldThat's known for its pouring rainShe keeps the homefires burningOoh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning againand againOut of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truckNo more credit on my credit cardWhen I come home and hit that doorI remember what these aching arms are forShe's my one light when the world goes darkTomorrow it's the same old grindBut she'll be burning in my mindShe keeps the homefires burningWhile I'm out earning a living in a worldThat's known for its pouring rainShe keeps the homefires burningOoh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning againShe keeps the homefires burningOoh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning againHomefires burningWhile I'm out earning a living in a worldShe keeps the homefires burningOoh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning againShe keeps the homefires burningWhile I'm out earning a living in a worldThat's known for its pouring rain
