So Nice To Come Home

So Nice To Come Home

Up and at ‘em, out the door
I run the whole day long
Another day, another dollar
That’s the working song
But oh, that feeling
When the sun is sinking low
And it’s so nice to come home

It’s so nice to come home
Oh that peaceful feeling
When the sun is sinking low
And it’s so nice to come home

A graybeard sailor said to me
“I guess I’ve seen it all
Wind, rain, hurricane
And waves ten stories tall”
But oh, that feeling when I see the harbor glow
‘Cause it’s so nice to come home

It’s so nice to come home
Oh that peaceful feeling
When I see the harbor glow
‘Cause it’s so nice to come home

I cross the land, guitar in hand
I’m singing every night
Call my daughter on the phone
She said, “Dad, it don’t seem right”
I say, “Oh, be patient,
There’s just one more town to go
It’ll be so nice to come home”

So nice to come home
And I miss you more than ever
When there’s just one town to go
It’ll be so nice to come home

And when I’m far away,
Feeling lonely and low
I just remember
That it’s so nice to come home

All across this land
There are people living in the street
People broke, people hungry,
Bowed down in defeat
There are old folk and children
They deserve to know
That it’s so nice to come home

It’s so nice to come home
What a different world we’d see
If everyone could know
That it’s so nice to come home
It’s so nice to come home
‘Cause every single person in this world
Deserves to know
That it’s so nice to come home
It’s so nice to come home
It’s so nice to come home

This song appears on Tom Chapin's So Nice To Come Home CD.
