Story behind the song
Bob wrote this one. We recorded it in a rush in hopes it might get played at the Cotton Pickin' Gin in Point TX. We'll see how things go.
Bob sings lead, Perry sings harmony.
Lyrics
Hoping I’ll Be Home Soon
Robert C. Weatherford
Copyright 2002
Headed the wrong direction,
Sure seemed like the thing to do.
Losing my ambition,
And those dreams that don’t come true.
Suffering with the whiskey,
Wondering if my family missed me;
Hoping that I’ll be home soon.
The letters that I wrote you,
I never did get in the mail.
I left them on my table,
Just to satisfy myself.
The tears in my eyes,
I wrote all those lies;
Hoping that I’ll be home soon.
Jesus do you still love me,
Even though I’ve gone astray.
Are you up there waiting,
For me to find the way.
Hoping that I’ll be home soon.
So now I’m getting older,
I got a hole that’s in my heart.
There aint no way to change things,
I don’t see no brand new start.
I dream everyday,
Somehow I’ll find a way;
Hoping that I’ll be home soon.
Jesus do you still love me,
Even though I’ve gone astray.
Are you up there waiting,
For me to find the way.
Hoping that I’ll be home soon.
