Lyrics

I was pourin' coffee for table number one
 I couldn't help but hear him what was going on
 It got my attention when I heard a young man's voice
 Saying sheriff I'll be going now if its alright with you boys
 Those years I spent in prison stole to much time from me
 I won't waste another minute if I'm really free
 I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for megoin' home
 I'm amazed that they still love me
 They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown
 Heaven knows I've been away to long
 So now I'm going home.
 A burger and a special for table number eight
 I was bustin' number seven when I heardher young heart break
 He told her it was over they could never meet again
 That he found a taste of courage twisted on his wedding band
 Her tears began to fall but they could nottouch his heart
 I heard him say "I'm sorry
 But it was all wrong from the start."
 I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for megoin' home
 I'm amazed that they still love me
 They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown
 Heaven knows I've been away to long
 So now I'm going home.
 There's a million other stories from the Halfway Home Cafe
 It's a never ending saga and they're played out every day
 But this one's finally over the foods all put away
 And the coffee pot stands empty at the Halfway Home Cafe
 But over in the corner at table number three
 Sits a father and a runaway well it looks that way to me
 I said "I hate to interrupt you but its reallygettin' late"
 The young girl looked up smilin she said"Mister that's ok."
 I'm goin' home my family's waitin' for megoin' home
 I'm amazed that they still love me
 They forgive me for the bitter seeds I've sown
 Heaven knows I've been away to long
 So now I'm going home.
 Hhmmm, I'm goin' home...
