Safe At Home Lyrics - Ray Stevens Box Set - Ray Stevens

Remember back when working hard 

That baseball games and grandma jar 

Appetites grew strong in the Georgia sun 

'Bout the time you could smell the meal 

With clean hand in center field 

Someone would holler at, "Dinners on" 

And no matter who the battle won 

We'd stop and drop our baseball gloves 

Head for the water pump to wash our hands 

All stars bowed their heads in grace 

Each one with its own home plate 

Filled with the fruits of their labor from our land 

And we were family 

Family with resemblances too strong for us to see 

We're family, ageless family 

And safe at home is all we longed to be 

I can still see little brother's face 

As he slit wide eyed in the second base 

And countless times I've wished we could return 

It's in that moment seems so clear 

Just who we are, why we're here 

And I pray that someday soon the world will learn 

We're family 

Big family with resemblances too strong for us to see 

We're family, ageless family 

And safe at home is all we longed to be
