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 favourite 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 neighbours, 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´re ever in town inquire
We´ll be glad to have you share the home fire
