Lyrics
Far from home in a rented room Kettle on, but it's not the same Mama's voice on the other end Says my name the way she always says my name Kettle back home, call me tonight Tell me the porch light still burns bright Miles are long but the line is near Kettle back home, I can hear you here Rain on the window, a stranger's street Bread don't taste like the bread I know Close my eyes and I smell the stove Sunday rice and the radio low Kettle back home, call me tonight Tell me the porch light still burns bright Miles are long but the line is near Kettle back home, I can hear you here Home is a voice Home is a song Home is a chair That waits all along Hang up the phone, and I'm smiling slow Warm inside from a far-off cup Another sunrise, another day Then I'll be home, and we'll sit right up Kettle back home, call me tonight Tell me the porch light still burns bright Miles are long but the line is near Kettle back home, I can hear you here Call me tonight Call me tonight I can hear you here
