But it's gonna feel good to make up
It's been a long time coming, too long coming
And he's gonna be drivin' up in a little while
And I just can't wait to get him all alone
Then I'll tell my baby, "Welcome home"
Love him all you can till after dinner
Comb your hair, put on your Sunday smile
'Cause late last night I talked to your daddy
There's gonna be a homecoming
'Cause mama's gonna love him all night long
Then I'll tell my baby, "Welcome home"
And I just can't wait to get him all alone
It should be hard to break up
Kids get up and wash your faces
Let's all be sure, make him welcome
It's been a long time coming, too long coming
There's gonna be a lotta good times from now on
Don't forget to make him feel at home
