From the recording To Sing Once Again

Lyrics

TO SING ONCE AGAIN (Come Home to Salado)                  FEF 1997
 
The years we were gone, I put my music aside
Got busy with business, to be a Yuppie I tried
Put my case in the corner, to wait until then
I could come to Salado and sing once again
 
The old red brick schoolhouse stands proudly today
Recalling a time when we all felt that way
A life that was simple and so innocent
Come home to Salado and sing once again
 
Now music has been a large part of my life
Began as a choir boy, singing hymns to the Light
A mother that taught me, like a bird I could sing
Come home to Salado, To sing once again
 
From the eyes of this singer, I still look the same
All others grew older some I can’t call by name
It’s nice to feel welcome and next to my kin
Come home to Salado, To sing once again
 
The rythmn of life here is a song all its own
A slow waltz to dance to, and glad to be home
Most folks go full circle and come back again
Come home to Salado, To sing once again
 
Chorus
 
The creek winds and flows so quietly through town
Still baptizes sinners that were lost but now found
Captures the heart and rids troubled souls of sin
Come home to Salado, To sing once again
 
So go to your hometown and find the right track
You’ve been so confused, you never thought to look back
To the memories that shaped you and the sights that you’ve seen
Find your Salado, And sing once again
 
          Chorus
