Walter W Harris Heading Home To Liberty lyrics

We drove the doggies way up north
to the Oklahoma line
and there I signed a bill of sale
for the Longhorns that were mine

Then I sent a wire back home
To my love who waits for me
“My true love, I’m coming home
I’ll be there soon you will see"

Chorus…
Now here I am on the trail
Riding along with a song
Heading home to Liberty
I’ve been away for so long

Off to my right is Abilene
There, a love that might have been
And off to my left is Waco
There was a love now and then

Chorus…
Now here I am on the trail
Riding along with a song
Heading home to Liberty
I’ve been away for so long

I set up camp right here last night

Under a moon so very bright
I had a warm and crackling fire
Not too far away from my side
I woke up with the morning sun
And made some coffee oh so good
I saddled up, now here I am
Rested up for the long, long ride

Chorus…
Now here I am on the trail
Riding along with a song
Heading home to Liberty
I’ve been away for so long

Now here I am at the bank
Of the mighty Trinity
On the other side I see
My hometown of Liberty

Chorus…
Now here I am on the trail
Riding along with a song
Heading home to Liberty
I’ve been away for so long
