It’s been a long, long time
I come a long, long way
I see the porch light shining
A half a mile away
She turned it on when I left
It’s been burning all along
Like a beacon in the night
Since I been gone
 CHORUS
   And it’s just so good to be home
   And you know you’re finally home
   When she meets you at the door
   And you dance across the floor
   Then it’s so good to be home
Happy eyes open wide
My babies run to meet me
Climb up in my arms
They been growing like weeds
I never felt so good
As I do tonight
Whoever said home’s where the heart is
They sure got it right
 CHORUS
     And now that I’m home from the war
     I can’t feel my heart anymore
 CHORUS
Then it's so good to be home
When she meets you at the door
And your feet don't touch the floor
Then it’s so good to be home
Then it's so good to be home
It's still so good to be home
