Well you left town when the sun went down and it ain't been up since then
But the mail today said you're headin' our way and now the sun's a gonna rise again

So I called everybody and I told 'em that we gotta get the celebration under way
My baby's been gone now she's comin' home happiness is on its way

It's a gonna be a mighty day in this old town tomorrow

That's when you're comin' home to stay

It's a gonna be a mighty day in this old town tomorrow

That's when the clouds will all roll away

[ steel ]

No need denyin' I've been cryin' every since you went away

But all the while I've been savin' me a smile for your homecoming day

So I called everybody and I told 'em that we gotta get the celebration under way

My baby's been gone now she's comin' home happiness is on its way

It's a gonna be a mighty day...
