Call Home

(album: It's Just A Matter Of Time - 1985)

I pack my soul in an ole suitcase
The day I left the farm
I'll never forget my mama's eyes
As she held me in her arms

Daddy stood there strong and silent
It's always been his way
But his love sure came through loud and clear
As I heard my Daddy say

Son don't forget to call home, call home
Just to let us know you're safe and sound
When the cold wind starts blowing
If you need anything at all, just call home

You know, Heaven helps the young and foolish
Through the years they wonder
Heaven holds the ones you love
When the roll is called up yonder

The old farm's standing empty now
But I'm filled with memories
And I know the circle is unbroken
When I fall down on my knees

And I call home, I call home
Just to let em' know I'm safe and sound
When the cold winds start blowing
If I need anything at all, I call home
When I want to rise above it all I call home
I call home
