Eight months he was gone
On a job out West
Those months seemed so long
For the son back home
He called him every night at 8 p.m.
Saying, "I'll come home just as soon as I can."
The son...

CHORUS: Prayed fervently
"Dear God please bring him back home to me.
Bring him safe, bring him soon, back home."

Years passed right on by
And the Dad was back
The song then hd to leave overseas
So suddenly
He wrote him every night at 8 p.m.
Saying, "I'll come home just as soon as I can."
The father...

REPEAT CHORUS

Eight months he was gone
When the call came to everyone back home
He called him that night at 8 p.m.
Saying, "I'm coming back home."

Bring him safe, bring him soon, back home.
Back home
Back home
