wade hayes - family reunion
(chick rains/harlan howard)
it won´t make the papers
like some reunions do
there won´t be many people
just me and him and you
i made a childhood promise
you laughed and dried your tears
i swore that i´d bring daddy home
tomorrow he´ll be here
i tracked him down in denver
where he´d lived all alone
he was just another drifter
with a number on his stone
in his things i found a picture
where his hands had worn it thin
a smiling bride was by his side
now you´ll be this way again
we´ll have that family reunion
the one you dreamed of
until the day you died
