Home Cookin’
Music & Lyrics: Chuck Knott
Home cookin’, home cookin’
When those dyin’ leaves have blown away
The city streets are all but bare
I pack a bag for a couple’a days
The railroad man collects his fare
That city baggage bound to weigh me down
Gotta split to save my hide
Then I know that I’m gonna go on that
Train bound for the country side
I see bonfire smoke as I walk up the drive
The old, shot-out Ford in the yard
The smell of pot and apple pie
Our old dog on the porch, keeping guard
Pops hands me a beer, I kiss ma’ on the cheek
By the old piano in the living room
Then I know that I’ve come back home when I…
Play a few chords, make sure it’s still tuned
I come around around the holidays
We’ll dust a record off and hope it plays
When it’s good and done, I wanna get me some of that
Home cookin’ gonna warm my soul up right
Home cookin’ tonight
Home cookin’ gonna warm my soul up right
Home cookin’ tonight
Home cookin’, home cookin’
Home cookin, home cookin’
When it’s good and done, I wanna get me some of that
Home cookin’ gonna warm my soul up right
Home cookin’ tonight
Home cookin’ gonna warm my soul up right
Home cookin’ tonight
