Welcome home, old companion, welcome home
You've come in from the prairie all alone
A solitary rider, come and rest your weary bones
Welcome home, old companion, welcome home
Your younger days were filled with spit and fire
But just like me, each cowboy must retire
So coil your old riata and put those spurs away
Pull up a chair and talk with me of yesterday
And welcome home, old companion, welcome home
You've come in from the prairie all alone
A solitary rider, come and rest your weary bones
Welcome home, old companion, welcome home
Your days of busting broncs were full and plenty
Times hitting that hard ground were far too many
The west has gotten tamer now, just take a look around
So get out of the saddle now and settle down
And welcome home, old companion, welcome home
You've come in from the prairie all alone
A solitary rider, come and rest your weary bones
Welcome home, old companion, welcome home
