The Coming Home Of The Son and Brother
By Robert Earl Keen

Capo 2


C
Time for the singer
                                             Am
Time for the singer boy to make his way back home
  C
A prodigal I’ve been distressed
                                       Am
This lonely child can’t make it on his own
          F                C
I’ve been traveling states away
          Am                     C
I’ve been playing in a bluegrass band
             C                
Now it’s the coming home 
       G                C
Of the son and brother again
 

Time has slipped away
I don’t know if I can play another tune
They want me to build single handed
A road up to the moon
They only pay me nickels and dimes
In a game that I can never win
So it’s the coming home
Of the son and brother again

Instrumental
 
It’s been a long long time
Since I’ve seen all of my family and friends
I want to hear them tell their stories
Tell ‘em all about the places I have been
So open all your doors up wide
Invite all the neighbors in
For the coming home
Of the son and brother again
