(hummmm) Nova Scotia winds were cold and blue
But the southern wind is calling you
My real name is Hope Rose Dawson
Born way up north where the cold sea sighs
But I packed my dreams and I headed down
Underneath those wide Texas skies
Now I'm a cowgirl in Austin town
Where the dust settles golden on the ground
And Jon Wolfe Senior,
you're the voice I love
But there's a little boy looking at the stars above
Jon Wolfe Junior the Third
is standing by the track
He's just waiting for his Dad to come on back
Yeah, he's waiting for his Dad to come on back
I watch the horses run in the fading light
Holding on to memories in the quiet night
Little Tessa Rose Dawson is my darlin' child
Growing up sweet, growing up wild
We're keeping the home fires burning bright
Hoping that the road leads you home tonight
And Jon Wolfe Senior,
you're the voice I love
But there's a little boy looking at the stars above
Jon Wolfe Junior the Third
is standing by the track
He's just waiting for his Dad to come on back
Yeah, he's waiting for his Dad to come on back
Tessa Rose and me,
beneath the Austin sky
Jonnie's waiting for you,
don't let the hope die
Yeah, we're waiting... (hummmm)
Waiting for you to come back
