She Keeps The Home Fires Burning Lyrics - Milsap Ronnie

Crack of dawn I hit the road, set my shoulders for the heavy load 

Coffee leaking through the paper sack 

The foreman says I'm late again, he can't stand it when I only grin 

He's got me eight hours, she's got me after that 

I can't wait 'til it's quittin' time 

She got something cookin' for me tonight 

She keeps the homefires burning 

While I'm out earning a living in a world 

That's known for its pouring rain 

She keeps the homefires burning 

Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again 

and again 

Out of gas, just my luck, four bald tires on my pickup truck 

No more credit on my credit card 

When I come home and hit that door 

I remember what these aching arms are for 

She's my one light when the world goes dark 

Tomorrow it's the same old grind 

But she'll be burning in my mind 

She keeps the homefires burning 

While I'm out earning a living in a world 

That's known for its pouring rain 

She keeps the homefires burning 

Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again 

She keeps the homefires burning 

Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again 

Homefires burning 

While I'm out earning a living in a world 

She keeps the homefires burning 

Ooh and it's her warm loving that keeps me returning again 

She keeps the homefires burning 

While I'm out earning a living in a world 

That's known for its pouring rain
