One Red Light

You kiss me at the door 
Your eyes say good bye
As I walk away
Before the morning light 
A long drive a head
One light 
And it’s red
Just a turn and a stop up the road 
Take me to 
My other home
Live stock gets fed 
As I amble through my day 
Doing the things that I do
Finding ways to keep entertained
Till its over 
And I head back to you
Take me to 
My other home
Just a stop and a turn up the road 
One light 
And it’s red 
A long drive a head
Two masters can test a mans soul
Family, love, earth, mud
Can top a bottomless pit
A welcome sight 
The bright porch light
And inside your eyes wait for me.
Knowing tomorrow again
The day will start with a kiss
As I walk away 
From your adoring light
