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 favorite 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 neighbors, 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 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 neighbors, 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 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
