1
I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon
2
Happy as a king upon a throne
3
Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet
4
Riding in a brand new wagon going home.
5
Today is the first time I've been home in many a years
6
Remembering how things used to be I can't hold back the tears
7
The house is barely standing and the barn has rotted down
8
And someone planted trees all over Papa's farming ground.
9
The weeds had almost hidden papa's wagon standing there
10
I thought how long it's been since gentle hands touched it with care
11
I remember when he bought it even Mama went along
12
He walked to led the mules to town and proudly brought it home.
13
I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon
14
Happy as a king upon a throne
15
Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet
16
Riding in a brand new wagon going home.
17
I remember Tammy Jones that lived the next house down
18
She was in the wagon every time we went to town
19
And when I told her of my plans she cried and said you're wrong
20
But I just wouldn't listen so I ran away from home.
21
Too young to get a job I robbed a man in Frisco yard
22
The wagon I had rode next was driven by a guard
23
Mam and Pap they kept my secret till their dying day
24
That's why no one could find me when they both had passed a way.
25
And I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon
26
Happy as a king upon a throne
27
Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet
28
Riding in a brand new wagon going home.
29
Riding in a brand new wagon going home...
