Home with a smile

Verse 1

Another lonely night in a room that ain’t mine

Another bottle gone it ain’t the first time

TV’s on but I can’t hear what they say

All I see are the ghosts of my life and they won’t go away

Verse 2

There’s a picture on the table, frame is fingered and worn

my wife in the sunlight, barefoot smiling at me

I told myself the whiskey helps me sleep

But all it does is make the memories creep

Chorus

I see my baby girls in dresses, with their Christmas Eve glow

My boy on the porch waitin’ for me to show

My girl in the yard, watering dreams

And my grandson’s laughter floating through the beams

No drink or pill can drown that love

So I’m drivin’ home through the night above

With a smile, yeah, with a smile

Verse 3

Ashtray’s full, my phone’s gone dark

All that’s left is my beating heart

And the echo of an old friend’s song

We sang rockin in the free world all night long

Cheers to you brother

Pre-Chorus

But the haze starts to clear, and I finally see

The only high I need’s my family

Chorus

I see my baby girls in dresses, with their Christmas Eve glow

My boy on the porch waitin’ for me to show

My girl in the yard, watering dreams

And my grandson’s laughter floating through the beams

No drink or pill can drown that love

So I’m drivin’ home through the night above

With a smile, yeah, with a smile

Bridge

Headlights cut through the rain and fear

Every mile brings their faces near

And I swear I hear that front door creak

Like it’s whisperin’, it’s all right now!

Verse 4

I just sat in the drive, sun startin’ to rise

Tears mix with the morning sky

Ain’t no buzz like holdin’ her tight

After we’ve lost so many nights

Chorus

I see my baby girls in dresses, their Christmas Eve glow

My boy on the porch waitin’ for me to show

My girl in the yard, watering dreams

And my grandson’s laughter floating through the beams

No drink or pill can drown that love

So I’m drivin’ home through the night above

With a smile, yeah, with a smile

Outro

Now the bottle’s dry, but my heart’s alive

Ain’t runnin’ no more —

Home again, it took a while

But I made it back… with a smile
