It’s good to see the sun And trace the miles of golden corn To walk the sacred ground Where I was born To touch the morning glories Upon the hills we used to climb To see your face After all this time
From the long lonesome road I come to greet you From the land where the restless hearts roam I’ve come back to tell just how much I need you And that your wayward lover has come home
So fine to lay in fields Beneath the arc of heaven’s light To hold you in my arms Deep into the night
So glad to know your heart Has not grown bitter with the years To see forgiveness In your moonlit tears
From the long lonesome road I come to greet you From the land where the restless hearts roam I’ve come back to tell you just how much I need you And that your wayward lover has come home
Once I left a girl crying Beneath an old willow tree Just thought she might be waiting there for me
From the land where angels fear to stray It took a million miles to know how much I want you And that your wayward lover’s here to stay
