                                   I’LL BE HOME TONIGHT SWEET MOLLY

D. KING, E. MEASEL, C.PINNEY, C. CRAIG

 

AS SOON AS I DROP OFF THIS LOAD IN DALLAS 

I’LL BE HEADED BACK TO TENNESSEE 

I’LL PICK UP A FLAT BED LOADED DOWN WITH TRACTORS

MAKE MY WAY BACK HOME ON CHRISTMAS EVE

 

IT’S BEEN SO LONG SINCE I HELD YOU MOLLY

I CAN HARDLY STAND THIS TIME APART

BUT YOUR MEMORY’S ALWAYS CLOSE TO ME SWEET MOLLY

YOU’RE STILL THE ONLY ONE THAT HOLDS MY HEART

CHORUS 

I’LL BE HOME TONIGHT SWEET MOLLY

BUT IT SURE IS LONELY THERE WITH YOU GONE

IF I CAN SEE TO DRIVE, THROUGH ALL THIS SNOW AND ICE

I’LL BE HOME TONIGHT TO SLEEP ALONE

 

I SEE RED LIGHTS FLASHING IN THE DISTANCE

I TRIED TO SLOW MY RIG TOO LATE I KNOW

BUT THERE’S TOO MUCH BLACK ICE BENEATH MY TIRES

AND NOW I’M LOOSING ALL CONTROL

 

I CAN SEE THE CLIFF COMING UP BESIDE ME

BUT RIGHT BEFORE I FALL TO MY DEATH

I SEE YOUR PICTURE ON MY DASH SWEET MOLLY

AND I WHISPER YOUR NAME WITH MY LAST BREATH

 

 RECITE

I KNOW I BEEN GONE A LOT ON THE ROAD ALL THESE YEARS

AND YOU’VE HAD TO SPEND SO MANY NIGHTS ALL BY YOURSELF

SO MANY TIMES YOU LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW HOPING TO SEE ME PULL IN THE DRIVE

I GUESS YOU FINALLY JUST GRIEVED YOURSELF TO DEATH

 

CHORUS 

BUT I’LL BE HOME TONIGHT SWEET MOLLY

I CAN FEEL MY LIFE COME TO AN END

I’LL BE HOME TONIGHT SWEET MOLLY

 WE’LL FINALLY BE TOGETHER AGAIN

TAG

I’LL BE HOME TONIGHT SWEET MOLLY

LEAVE HEAVEN’S PORCH LIGHT ON I’M ALMOST HOME
