Verse 2:
To the highway where some new cowboys go
Drivers and drifters and rouges
And the crew's still working
Everybody's cracking jokes
Morning comes so easy
Sharing stories and forgetting time
Take the rest in the look in her eyes
As they go and close time
Chorus:

Papa's driving past the night
Dm9 Cm9
He's working his way to make it home
Dm9 Cm9
The old man gonna be outside
Dm9 Cm9
When the morning come, when the morning comes
Verse 3:
To the highway where some old cowboys go
Drivers and drifters and rouges
Some drink here, some dance here
Hear old big boy telling jokes
Mom's holding sister in the chair
Sharing stories and forgetting time
Warm in their memories of
Falling asleep by the fire
Chorus/Bridge:
Papa's he driving past the night
He's working his way to make it home
The old man gonna be a sight
When the morning come, when the morning comes
Papa's coming home
Papa's coming home
Papa coming home...
