He’s Coming Home
written by David V. Williams and Dillon Dixon

Well it took us by surprise
When he came home and told us he just joined the army
Momma cried and left the room like mommas do and simply said
You should have warned me

Daddy threw his arms around his neck said
Don't mind her you know she only loves you
Then shook his hand and said my friend I think you'll make
One hell of a soldier

Things remained the same until the day he had to leave
As we waved goodbye Momma said to me

He's coming home and Out front of that bus depot
We all watched his arm reach out the window
Giving us the peace sign
Go, God we hate to watch him go, No matter how far apart we are
We know, he's coming home

A mother's premonition There ain't nothing like it
We all watched in anger
As the newsman forced a smile
And warned the country we all love is now in danger

Momma's baby went from boot camp drills
To standing in a field holding a rifle
His mind shifts from Army grants to finish school and be someone - to mere survival

With each letter that he sent before we read it
We all prayed that it would be the one to tell us

He’s coming home, Momma read each and every one
As we passed around the latest picture
Of him giving us the peace sign, no
Ain’t been the same since he’s been gone
But No matter how far apart we are
We know, he’s coming home

As the war dust slowly disappeared we all sat in fear
And feared the worst
Till the moment that the phone rang
And he asked if he could talk to momma first

He’s coming home, Please tell me he’s coming home
Words can’t describe what I was feeling
When momma shot us all the peace sign
Tears flowed when she hung up the phone
Hit her knees and thanked the lord = above
My boy’s coming home
