I was playing tag outside with some kids down the street Didn???t notice it was getting dark; heard her call for me Chorus 1: Hurry home, I???ve been waiting here for you Hurry home, there???s so much we???ve got to do The light is on, the table???s set, and I???ve been worried half to death Waiting here for you so hurry home Years later I went off to school, I couldn???t wait to leave Missing home when I called her up, here???s what she said to me Repeat Chorus 1 Got the call, it was almost noon, they said you???d better run Her body had just given out, she asked to see her son As I stood there silently, stroked her hair and felt her leave Thought I could here my momma plead Chorus 2: Hurry home, I???ve been waiting here for you Hurry home, there???s so much we???ve got to do The light is on, the table???s set, don't be worried 'bout my death I'll be waiting here for you so hurry home The light is on, the table???s set, don't be worried about death I'll be waiting here when you get home I'll be waiting here when you get home
