Dreamin' of reachin' my journeys end
  I'm headin' straight for my hearts desire
  Gee, it's good to know I'm near the home fire

  All of the folks that I love are there
  I got a date with my favourite chair
  With every step every hope grows higher
  Didn't know how much I missed the home fire

  The noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
  The cat always teasin' my dog
  The neighbours, the quarrels, the screaming of kids
  For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log

  Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
  Seven or eight dreams around the bend
  And if you're ever in town inquire
  We'll be glad to have you share the home fire

  Yes, the noises, the TV, the rusty old pipes
  The cat always teasin' my dog
  The neighbours, the quarrels, the scream of the kids
  For the first time in years I'll sleep like a log

  Heaven is waiting for me, my friend
  Seven or eight dreams around the bend
  And if you're ever in town inquire
  We'll be glad to have you share the home fire

  We'll be glad to have you share the home fire
