The whipping of the flag above



it sung me to sleep



and I awoke to feel her hair



dancing on my cheek



I awoke with the crazy feeling



that I was where I belong



and the sun warmed a remembered love



in my head I heard this song



Dont leave, youve finaly made it home

aint this the girl that you wanted all along

I know it hurts to think about

everything that went wrong

but I think its over now



And I cant believe how her hands

still fit perfectly in mine

if I dont take my chances now

Ill be searching all my life



Trying to find the feelings that I knew

with this lovley country girl

if those plans are just a young mans mistake

why am I still so set on her



Dont leave, youve finaly made it home

aint this the girl that you wanted all along

I know it hurts to think about

everything that went wrong

but I think its over now



And more than ever, now I hear

that sweet old voice inside my ear

it says



Dont leave, youve finaly made it home

aint this the girl that you wanted all along

I know it hurts to think about

everything that went wrong

but I think its over now

Her hair is still soft and sweet

her eyes still green, her heart still beats

for you and for the lord above

be done with the pain and get on

with the love
