"The Homecoming Queen" lyrics - HANK WILLIAMS, JR.

They said that she was the prettiest girl in school
It was the graduating class of '72
And the university hired me to sing
And there I met the homecoming queen

When I first saw her something said inside
Boy this girl is bound to be your wife
She was beautiful and pretty as could be
And I swore I'd make her my homecoming queen

'Cause the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies
The homecoming queen took away all the lonliness and doubt
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about

Have you ever had those days
When nothin' goes your way and you get down
You think about goin' out gettin' drunk
Tearin' up the town

But my little girl meets me at the door
And says daddy's home to play
And the queen takes me in her arms
And I forget about my rough and rowdy ways

Oh the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies
The homecoming queen took away all the lonliness and doubt
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about

Now I've had my flings
And a man will do these things there's no doubt
But when the party's over you can find me back
With momma at the house

And my head'll be a poundin'
And she'll be kind of down in the mouth
God knows that I love her cause
The king ain't much without the queen around

Oh the homecoming queen is a friend and a lover and a lady
She's the girl of my dreams and the mother of my two little babies
The homecoming queen took away all the lonliness and doubt
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home is all about
Yes the homecoming queen showed me what coming home was all about
