The Boy Back Home Lyrics - Linda Davis

The first time she saw him he stood at home plate 

He knocked that curve ball almost out of state 

The crowd went wild 

He kinda smiled 

And her heart melted away 

The last time she saw him was at the airport gate 

He'd write from college every other day 

Letters sent 

With good intent 

But the miles got in the way 

She tried to fall again 

And every now and then she got real close 

But it never worked out right 

And with every sad goodbye her mind goes to 

The boy back home 

And their favorite song 

And more shining stars than a girl could wish upon 

Where there were no dreams 

Out of reach 

She'd go anywhere to find the boy back home 

She drove last weekend to the old home town 

Their favorite soda shop had been torn down 

The drive-in's gone 

And her heart longs 

For a place that can't be found 

And in the hours spent 

In youthful innocence 

Safe in the arms of 

The boy back home 

And their favorite song 

And more shining stars than a girl could wish upon 

Where there were no dreams 

Out of reach 

She'd go anywhere to find the boy back home
