Home For The Weekend

Don't matter if you're 12, 45 or 22
You walk through the door, better take them shoes off
Mama frying fish and whatever you want
Daddy and the dogs cheering LSU on

Who got married, who broke up
Who retired, who got fired
And who signed up

People say you can't go home
You can, you just can't stay long, oh no
You love it, you hate to have to leave it
Yeah you better believe it
It's good to be home for the weekend

Friday night fire at the lock and damn
Throwing out a line, bare feet in the sand
Ex-girlfriend asking how I am
Showing off the ring I didn't put on her hand

All my friends cracking jokes
Drinking beer, blowing smoke
Keep me laughing till I gotta go

People say you can't go home
You can, you just can't stay long, oh no
You love it, you hate to have to leave it
Yeah you better believe it
It's good to be home for the weekend
Home for the weekend

Where the cops don't care where you park your car
Even if it's on blocks, in your neighbor's yard
Sunday morning sermon working on your heart
Singing with the choir where you got your start

People say you can't go home
You can, you just can't stay long, oh no
You love it, you hate to have to leave it
Yeah you better believe it
It's good to be, good to be... home
You just can't stay long, oh no
You love it, you hate to have to leave it
Yeah you better believe it
It's good to be home for the weekend
