He's Coming Home Lyrics

Well it took us by surprise when

He came home and told us

He just joined the army

Mama cried and left the room

Like Mama?s do and simply said

?You should have warned me?

Daddy threw his arms around his neck

Said ?Don?t mind her you know

She really loves you.?

Then he shook his hand and said ?My friend

I think you?ll make one hell of a soldier.?

Things remain the same until

The day he had to leave

As we waved goodbye mama said to me

He's coming home

Out front of that bus depot

We all watched his arm

Reach out the window

Giving us the peace sign, oh

God we hate to watch him go

But no matter how far apart we are

We know

He's coming home

A mama?s premonition

There ain?t nothing like it

We all watched in anger

As the newsman forced a smile

And warned the country

That we all love is now in danger

Mama?s baby went from boot camp drills

To standing in a field holding a rifle

His mind shifts from army grants

To finish school and be someone

To mere survival

With each letter that he sent

Before we read it

We all prayed it would be the one to tell us

He?s coming home

Mama read each and every one

As we passed around the latest picture

Of him giving us the peace sign, oh

He?d been the same since he?s been gone

But no matter how far apart we are

We know

He?s coming home

As the war dust slowly disappeared

We all sat in fear

And feared the worst

Til the moment that phone rang

And he asked if he could talk to mama first

He's coming home

Please tell me he?s coming home

Words cant describe what I was feeling

When mama shot us all the peace sign

Tears rolled when she hung up the phone

Hit her knees and thanked the Lord above

My boys coming home

He's coming home

He?s coming home

He?s coming home
