There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rolling in, the afternoon is heavy on your shoulders. There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away, the whining of his wheels just makes it colder. He's an hour away from riding on your prayers up in the sky and ten days on the road are barely gone. There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove, but it's the light in your eyes that makes him warm. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend. Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again. There's all the news to tell him, how's you spend your time, and what's the latest thing the neighbors say? And your mother called last Friday, "Sunshine" made her cry and you felt the baby move just yesterday. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend. Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again. Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down, and feel your fingers feather soft upon me. The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way, the happiness that living with you brings me. It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you. It's the little things that make a house a home. Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove, the light in your eyes that makes me warm. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend. Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again. Hey, it's good to be back home again. Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend. Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again. I said hey, it's good to be back home again.
Thanks for taking time to type the lyrics and very nice to find this story song written in paragraph form. Nice addition to the video. Gaither music is great. But this was all classic Denver.
What does it mean about the truck??? It sounds like it's going to be in an accident??? Can someone please explain the first paragraph to me!!!! I would really appreciate it and thank you!!!!!
Good morning KB, The meaning is merely that sound carries. Haven't you ever heard a voice from a great distance softly audible, yet you can make out every word? It's the same for hiways or rivers or streams; their sound carries. It's just lovely phrasing and imagery. Actually a lesson may be learned from this: Sound carries, so lower your voice when speaking outdoors if you don't want the whole neighborhood to hear what you're saying... The man is on his way home. He wants to get there in a big way...Know any truck drivers? He needs our prayers just to make that last leg home. 'The wife' (as the old adage goes) is there at the hearth fire with his nearly ready dinner. He/they need the prayers for his safe return...It's the love for each other that keeps him driving...keeps him awake...keeps him heading home. There's nothing better than a story song. Look up Harry Chapin's 30,000 Pounds of Bananas. It too is about a trucker just trying to make it home...
@@lynnmoser6918 thank you!!!! You explained it beautifully!!!!!! I know and love several truck drivers in my family!!!! Thanks again for taking your time to help me out!!!!!
I’m in my 70’s but I have the biggest crush on Woody singing this song! His sparkling eyes darting around the room and the huge smile on his face is just so heart warming. Then of course his voice. The song is perfect with him singing it. If I sound like I am in love with him, I am. This rendition is magical.
I love this song and have for years. I was a busy driver for 17 years, but never got behind the wheel of a rig. I admire those who do, and am thankful for their hard work and willingness to pull the l of add.
@Gaither Music TV, Thank you for remembering John Denver, And Mr.Woody Wright sang this beautiful song & he sounded like John & it was terrific that all of you came back to Colorado and to play at Red Rocks! What a beautiful treat it was for us that Woody would sing the song we all know, I had tears in my eyes and looking up into the sky & I bet that John Denver was saying THANK YOU!! 🙏🏻
I awoke this morning with this song on my mind. He does a great job!! I am 81 years old and I am looking forward to seeing my friends and loved ones waiting for me but most of all seeing the One who loves me most of all, ❤❤
Had this song sung at my mother funeral. She and my dad trucked together. This fit her as she waited/worried so many days for him to get home. She's in Heaven, glad she's not worrying anymore.
I'm also a John Denver fan. I'm still surprised that the Homecoming Friends had included this song in the video. But I shouldn't be surprised because it was filmed in Colorado. I still think that it was beautiful to include it and honoring the memory of John Denver. To have Woody Wright to sing it it gave me cold chills.
There's a SWEATHEART somewhere, I dedicate this song, everytime I land on this page. There's so much unspoken affection hidden within the lines of this wonder song. It always brings a tear in my eyes, caused by my inability to express my real feelings.
I just listened to John Denver’s version. Yours is much better! You give it depth and soul. Although, You can’t get down on John Denver. He wrote amazing lyrics. It is such a beautiful song.
I haven't been able to hear Woody Wright sing very many solos on the Homecoming videos. He has a great voice! I've always loved that sweet John Denver song.

Was watching a video of Bobbie Daren singing ONCE UPON A TIME....YOU HAVE THE SAME BEAUTIFUL SMILE AS BOBBY DAREN....ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR MUSIC NEARLY EVERYDAY, CHEERED MANY A SAD DAY FOR ME..... SOMETIMES EMOTIONS ALL OVER THE PLACE, CAN HERE YOUR SONGS AN IT IS CALMING....THANK YOU SO MUCH❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I was watching a DVD yesterday of Bill Gaither called Rocky Mountain Homecoming and all of a sudden this song came on. I was not expecting this but thoroughly enjoyed his interpretation and the crowd reaction says it all. What a wonderful version and thank you Mr Wright.
Woody you have done a wonderful rendition of John Denver ❤song 🎵I will have to say I rather hear you sing than John Denver though I like his music. I was visiting my daughter in Colorado, she had his songs 🎵playing that's when I fell for him. You have a marvelous voice. Wish you were featured 😪more on the gaither gatherings. Thank the LORD FOR THE CHRISTIAN ✝️TALENT THAT IS USED. BILL AND GLORY ARE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE TO DO WHAT THEY ARE DOING. WE NEED THAT.
We always play this song when going back to my father's hometown barangay in our car... but that was just 4 years ago... everytime I hear this song, it reminds me of great nostalgia.. not depressing but it reminds me of how much i've grown..
Woody sings the song like John would enjoy. There is really no place like home! This is the kind of song that warms your heart on a cold winter night. GBY
Wish I could have seen this in person. Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed it very much. Woody you are awesome--not only do you have a great voice, but a beautiful smile.
Love this song, really really great song!!! Great singing there Woody, very warm and just amazing version. So so true, hey it's good to be back home again....you know it is!!!!
I love this rendition by Woody Wright. Love the smile as he sings and the expressions are priceless, made even better with the twinkle in his eyes. I love it. Blessings to you all.

THE TWINKLE IN HIS EYES AND HIS SMILE MAKES LISTENING TO THIS SONG SO MUCH MORE WORTHWHILE....
Totally agree

He has the voice that fits that song perfect.
I see what you see, his eyes are so true.
Amen
Don’t forget that smile
He made this song his song.😍😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰
It feels good to be back in my home with Jesus is the head of the house..Amen
All my dear friends come back to Jesus now.....there is still time..

@@margaretrichardson4210 hey,, this song gets better and better,, it’s my favorite of a songs, woody I love you,, cannot wait to meet you,, Awesome
Woody you own this one. Magnificent voice.
I love this song and have for years. I was a busy driver for 17 years, but never got behind the wheel of a rig. I admire those who do, and am thankful for their hard work and willingness to pull the l of add.

He sings it with such emotion. He sings it best. My favorite song. Mr. Wright, no one sings it quite like you
Woody, Joy And Stephen. Thank you for this beautiful version. Perfect.
He has the most beautiful smiling eyes I love to hear him sing
Hi Joyce hope you're okay?
So far away from home I can’t stop crying when listen to this song, I miss my family so much😭💔
I awoke this morning with this song on my mind. He does a great job!! I am 81 years old and I am looking forward to seeing my friends and loved ones waiting for me but most of all seeing the One who loves me most of all, ❤❤
Bless your heart
I always get misty eyes when I see the late Steven Hill... Oh the memories these brethren left with us. Glorious. Blessings to you gaither and friends
Love this song an probably have played 10 times or more, and loved everytime I heard an love that beautiful smile that goes with it......
I play this at least once everyday or many more times....
Love Wòodys version of Back Home Again.
This song we will sing together when we gathered there in heaven....praise the Lord for he has prepared a home for us...thank you Jesus
I can’t even get through the John Denver version of this song after listening to this.
I still miss John Denver we lost him way to soon. Woody does a beautiful job.
Woody is awesome
I Agree
Had this song sung at my mother funeral. She and my dad trucked together. This fit her as she waited/worried so many days for him to get home. She's in Heaven, glad she's not worrying anymore.
I'm sorry for your loss
I enjoy watching the expression on Woody’s face.He does such a wonderful job. Also love to watch the faces of the singers.
I'm also a John Denver fan. I'm still surprised that the Homecoming Friends had included this song in the video. But I shouldn't be surprised because it was filmed in Colorado. I still think that it was beautiful to include it and honoring the memory of John Denver. To have Woody Wright to sing it it gave me cold chills.
I do like when woody sings one more river with the gaither family. Him, Stephen Hill, Bob Cain and Guy Penrod really do a wonderful job.
This is a beautiful song and Woody makes it even better.
There's a SWEATHEART somewhere, I dedicate this song, everytime I land on this page. There's so much unspoken affection hidden within the lines of this wonder song. It always brings a tear in my eyes, caused by my inability to express my real feelings.
Very very good song. Now it's 2022 but keep listening the masterpiece. Love the song, voice and the woody's smile.
Beautiful Song .. Woody Sings it So beautifully.. 😊
This song really brought back all those good memories ❤
I just listened to John Denver’s version. Yours is much better! You give it depth and soul. Although, You can’t get down on John Denver. He wrote amazing lyrics. It is such a beautiful song.
John Denver wrote this song, nicely done by Woody Wright. Thanks!!!
Hi Carolina hope you're okay?
Just went home last July and it indeed felt good to be back home! That heartwarming chuckle on 3:57 is just wholesome. It gets me every time!
What a wonderful version of this song! My favorite!!
I love him singing this song from the first time I heard it on Bill Gaithers program.
I love this rendition with Woody singing. His voice is wonderful
I always come back this version... It's so well translated
Great version. I have never been to the US countryside. But I can feel how it would be while listening to this.
Love his voice, song & the way he sings it! Beautiful!
A great song and a great job by Woody who is one of the best singers anywhere.
Love him singing this
Hi Karen hope you're okay?

Try Kappa and Paul Larson, Danny. Is a nice version imho and Paul has a voice spookily like John's
Love him. Great song❤️🙏🇮🇪
I watch Woody singing this everyday, at least 2-3 times times. Never tire of watching his smile, or hearing his voice.
🌹
I watch it daily too!
this song always moves our heart away..... bringing us back to our past memorable years.
You can see the joy in his eye as he sings this.He draws you in to experience his feelings.
He's one of the best singer I have ever heard real good-looking hate seeing pass away like that

There's a storm across the valley, clouds are rollin' in
The afternoon is heavy on your shoulders
There's a truck out on the four lane, a mile or more away
The whinin' of his wheels just makes it colder
He's an hour away from ridin' on your prayers up in the sky
Ten days on the road are barely gone
There's a fire softly burning, supper's on the stove
It's the light in your eyes that makes him warm
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
There's all the news to tell him, how'd you spend your time?
What's the latest thing the neighbors say
And your mother called last Friday, sunshine made her cry
You felt the baby move just yesterday
Hey, it's good to be back home again, yes it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
Oh, the time that I can lay this tired old body down
Feel your fingers feather soft on me
The kisses that I live for, the love that lights my way
The happiness that livin' with you brings me
It's the sweetest thing I know of, just spending time with you
It's the little things that make a house a home
Like a fire softly burning and supper on the stove
The light in your eyes that makes me warm
Hey, it's good to be back home again
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Yes, and hey, it's good to be back home again
Hey, it's good to be back home again, you know it is
Sometimes this old farm feels like a long lost friend
Hey, it's good to be back home again
I said, hey, it's good to be back home again
A very beautiful cover of a John Denver song from an equally awesome singer Woody Wright. Thank you!
this is so sweet ,,,hey its Rilly good to back home again
For all the long distance truckers.❤️
Very Happy man, Mr. Woody. Beautiful message of love, well delivered. Thanks
