lyrics

HOW DID YOU GET HERE
Patti Douglas / Georgia Middleman

She had no idea
I was on my way back home
In my little red four-wheel drive
After nine long days alone

She opened up the door
And she started to cry
Said I didn’t see your car in the drive

“So how did you get here?” my momma asked
“Is it really you?” and I had to laugh
Daddy said “Hey Pumpkin” as he hugged me tight
“How long have we got you for, how many nights?”
If they only knew what I had been through
When they asked that simple question
“How did you get here?”

Baby Girl, she knew it all
Mary knew I was home to stay
I could always count on her
To keep my secrets safe

The Alaska years
The good and bad
The ups and downs that I’ve had

“How did you get here?” my momma asked
“Is it really you?” and I had to laugh
Daddy said “Hey Pumpkin” as he hugged me tight
“How long have we got you for, how many nights?”
If they only knew what I had been through
When they asked that simple question
“How did you get here?”

The place my daddy started his Army career
Is the place where I’ll be ending mine
The circle is complete
It’s the end of the line

“How did you get here?” my momma asked
“Is it really you?” and I had to laugh
Daddy said “Hey Pumpkin” as he hugged me tight
“How long have we got you for, how many nights?”
If they only knew what I had been through
When they asked that simple question
“How did you get here?”
“How did you get here?”
“How did you get here?”
