    A song with a strong social message on issues of family stability. Designed for discussion groups or counselling curriculum.

    Lyrics
    Another town, another round . . . I ain't got nowhere to go.
    Rumblin' sound, of a Greyhound . . . she'll be leaving, I know.
    Late this morning I got to wondering
    Now she's on that bus today.
    Could she be right for me?
    Guess I'll be on my way.

    I walked on, and I heard the song og a daddy and his little boy.
    It was beautiful and as usual, I wished I could share their joy.
    But I let family life get the worst of me,
    Why can't I have that chance again?
    Lord my nose just found a liquor store,
    Guess I'll spend my last fin.

    My illusions, I can see myself . . . in a soft cozy chair.
    Children playing, they'd be saying, "Daddy take us to the fair!"
    Late at night, they'd be sleeping . . . sweetly breathing, prayers all said.
    And she'd be waiting, she'd be there for me,
    Soft gold hair, big warm bed . . . I could rest my weary head.
    Take me back, Lord,
    I wanna go back there,
    Soft gold hair, big warm bed . . . I could rest my weary head.
