gary slayton homesick for you şarkı sözleri
Daddy took his final breath holding Mama's hand in the living room
In the house he built her 50 years ago
Cinco de Mayo, two thousand twenty-two
That's the day the angels took my hero home
He always said that's the way he'd wanna go
On the land he poured his heart into
With the one who made it home
He told us he was homesick for heaven
But the thought of leaving us down here had him feeling homesick too
Dad I've never heard of anyone being sick up there
But down here we're homesick for you
I miss your voice saying
I love you son, how's life out there in Nashville Tennessee
Holidays and Sundays seeing you by Mama's side
All the things that bring back memories
He always said that's the way he'd wanna go
On the land he poured his heart into
With the one who made it home
He told us he was homesick for heaven
But the thought of leaving us down here had him feeling homesick too
Dad I've never heard of anyone being sick up there
But down here we're homesick for you
From his front porch on a hilltop in his hometown
He stepped right onto golden streets into the promised land
His pain was gone his tears were dried
And Daddy looked into the eyes of Jesus
