Beaumont Rest Stop - Red Molly

It was a Tuesday night and summer time when I chose to leave my home

I checked the schedule for the train, packed my bags and I was gone

Now I never thought I’d miss them, I didn’t think I cared

But I was wrong… I was wrong

I left behind an honest man and I know I caused him pain

But that was not enough to make me board a home bound train

The love of my family, is the thing that brought me home

Yeah love and too much time alone

Chorus:

I said papa… put the supper on the table

I said mama… turn the porch light on

I’m calling from the pay phone, at the Beaumont rest stop

I been gone so long… so yeah, I’m coming home

My daddy chopped the firewood, and he’d get it crackling bright

My mom and I would dance around in the Orange and yellow light

Well I’ve heard said that nothing can bring you home like your home town

But nothing bring you up like being down

Chorus:

I’ve made it through the corn fields and I can see that porch light on

And even though I’m far away I swear I hear his song

It’s my daddy’s lonesome tenor, and he’s singing loud and clear

He’s home, my little boy is home

Chorus:

I been gone so long… so yeah, I’m coming home
