Don't Want To Go Home

John Teague

There’s a bluebird singing me a lullaby

There’s a feather on the table ‘cause I wanna fly

Through the air as free as a hummingbird

But, Lord, I don’t want to go home

Two beautiful daughters and a loving wife

They’re the air I breathe, the tears I cry

If I gotta go, well, let it be known That, Lord, I don’t want to go home

Oh no, I don’t want to go home

The years have gone by, the chores are all done

So don’t let the sun go down on the farm

When, Lord, I don’t want to go home

It’s about time I saved up enough money

Take a trip to Europe or hike the Rockies

We can dance all night, stay a little longer

When the Lord be calling, I’m gone

Oh no, I don’t want to go home

The years have gone by, the chores are all done

So don’t let the sun go down on the farm

When, Lord, I don’t want to go home

These days I’m as thankful as I ever been

There’s some things I wish I never did

Got a few books left I need to read

And you know my baby’s gonna miss me

So no, I don’t want to go home

The years have gone by, the chores are all done

Don’t let the sun go down on the farm

When, Lord, I don’t want to go home

Oh no, I don’t want to go home

The cows are all fed,

the kids are all grown

Give me five, give me ten, give me twenty-one

But, Lord, I don’t want to go home

Give me five, give me ten, give me twenty-one

But, Lord, I don’t want to go home
