Title: Mama's Home Tonight
Post by: Pine on February 19, 2021, 02:58:51 PM
Awhile back, my wife had to go out of town for a few days. When she got back, it was snowing hard. 70 mile drive home from the airport. To say i was relieved to see headlights in the driveway is an understatement. True story here.

Old school country. Just keyboard and guitar.

No more fightin' with my pillow...or staring at the ceiling half the night
No more talkin' on them damn cell phones...since ya left things just ain't been right

CH: and everybody's glad, Mama's Home Tonight...yes everybody's so glad, Mama's Home Tonight

No more lookin' in the mirror..at this long and lonely face i call my own
No more watchin' the dog stare at the door, lookin' like he lost his favorite bone..

CHORUS

Bridge: No more cold and lonely mornin's...no more sleepin' all alone
            No more sighs, at jet trails in the skies.. hidden feelings now freely shown

Little ones a peekin' out the window..runnin' out the door with you to be
Stories to tell, 'bout how heaven turned to hell.. their love for you a blind man could see

Chorus

As years go by I am developing a soft spot for some good ol country tunes. This is a great little number Pine... glad to hear it had a happy ending... I get very nervous driving in bad weather.

Dear P(r)ine this is another goooood one. True stories are the best when you know the right words to tell !
I liked so much the dog line, humorous but super sweet.. Well done, again!

lovely old school country with a lovely sentiment. A real toe tapper with some lovely sounding drums and fabulous vocals, you really nailed them. Great harmonies too. A really lovely piece of music, very enjoyable.

What a wonderfully thoughtful song.
Funny how there're plenty daddy's coming home songs but I can't recall another Mama's home song, so hat's off for that.
I really loved the bridge.

Well Done

the last two days i have been working on our front porch....staining and preserving... anyway...I have listened for hours to the SC latest song list... so I have heard the recent songs 6 or 7 times.... and I would have to say all of it is really good...very enjoyable...as a person loving the pop radio of the 60's and 70's (and 80s a little)... the list on SC reminds me of that but more modernized...but what a wide variety...   I really got into the lyrics of this the more I listened...music I almost always notice first...and that is good too..but your longing voice and the really clever lyrics ( a hard thing to express but you did it...)make this a wonderful song....

Fabulous! Man, you do this style with absolute class and grace. A perfect storytelling country song, with a great hook on the chorus.

Brilliant work.

I'm really into country at the moment. The amazing Ken Burns documentary properly connected me to the history and roots of it.
