It's nice to hear a song that praises the housewife instead of vilify it. I love those simpler times and this song reminds me of childhood especially my mom (rip) who listened to Ronnie. Miss ya ma 😘
This brings me memories about the first time I heard this song late summer 87' even though song was released in 85,' well me and my wife been married for about a year and half I was working in the west Texas oil field then (Westbrook Tx), me and two other hands had to car pull 10 miles to work every morning, one the hands was not to easy about being ready in the morning, supervisor get pissed about us running late, it got to were the supervisor told me to save my own skin just drive my vehicle to work lol and old 71' 3/4 Ford pickup truck probably with bad tires too but song always reminds me of coming home to my lovely young wife back then, this coming Sunday is our 35th wedding anniversary. ❤
First time I heard this man I was about 9yrs old and I wanted to listen to him All the time. I love them all but the first song of his that I really liked was "Day Dreams about Night Things"! To make a song so great to make it a hit it needs 3 things the words, tune and a great voice which is what Ronnie Milsap's songs have and is why they sound so great! God bless 🙏 you Ronnie Milsap!!?
Lyrics Crack of dawn I hit the road Set my shoulders for the heavy load Coffee leaking Through the paper sack The foreman says I'm late again He can't stand it when I only grin He's got me eight hours She's got me after that I can't wait till it's quitting time She got something cooking for me tonight Chorus She keeps the home fires burning While I'm out earning a living in a world That's known for it's pouring rain She keeps the home fires burning Ooh and it's her warm loving That keeps me returning again And again Out of gas just my luck Four bald tires on my pickup truck No more credit on my credit card When I come home and hit that door I remember what these aching arms are for She's my one light when the world goes dark Tomorrow it's the same old grind But she'll be burning in my mind Chorus She keeps the home fires burning While I'm out earning a living in a world That's known for it's pouring rain She keeps the home fires burning Ooh and it's her warm loving That keeps me retuning again She keeps the home fires burning Ooh and it's her warm loving That keeps me returning again (Home fires burning) While I'm out earning a living in a world That's known for it's pouring rain She keeps the home fires burning Ooh and its her warm loving That keeps me returning again She keeps the home fires burning While I'm out a living in a world That's known for it's pouring rain She keeps the home fires burning Ooh, and it's her warm loving That keeps me returning again
So Glad I have a husband that still feels this way !!! It's actually why I'm listening to it now because he sent me the link ! GEORGE SINGLETARY I LOVE YOU
Hello I really do appreciate you for being a big fan,thank you for your wonderful comments on my post,it really means a lot to me.I sincerely hope you never stop listenin to my music…..
Can anyone who has seen actually imagine being blind???Please lord if I cant see take me out!!!!Life without seeing is not life to me!!Thank you god for giving me all 5 of my senses!!!
Its only a hinder if you let it be. And I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 any day of the week. When your above ground you still get to 🙏 pray. When your below it you don't get that blessing anymore.
George strait may be The King of Country Music, but He Damn sure in NO WAY A BETTER Singer than Ronnie Milsap. He may be Just as Good, but he DA.N SURE AIN'T NO WAY IN HEL A BETTER SINGER.
@@littled6698 I mean in this younger generation. I'm fortunate to have one to buddy. But my younger brother can't find one that wants to be wife material. He's 34. He said they are all whores now and just want to sleep with everyone. Sad.
I grew up listening to this. Thinking about mom and dad. I always just assumed I'd have the same thing. Ha! I never thought I'd have to be starting over at level 42 in this game of life, after a failed marriage in 2009 and now 12 years down the drain. 🫣 I just don't wanna be alone. But I guess it's better than a bad relationship. Isn't it? Someone tell me it is and I didn't make a mistake booting an emotionally abusive narcissist to the door. (Yes, men, we can be emotionally abused. Nut 🥜 up and admit it, this 'men can cry' nonsense is just that ... nonsense)

Agreed the housewife role is a good thing. We need more of that old fashioned role to these millennials.
Today she keeps the fires burning and since she has a better job, buys him new tires
Enjoyed reading. May your mother rest easy
@@diddlebug7241 Quit yelling at clouds.
Facts. Sadly because 9f feminism women think being a housewife is bad
REAL country music from a real star ...

I play this when my wife is cooking. Ha! She loves it.
The production on the sound of this song is top shelf.
Yes, I love the slick production of 80s country. Some don't like it, but I think it sounds great.
This one really hits close to home.
God I LOVE this song!
Who can't help but to love some good ole' Ronnie Milsap!
Why hell that'll un-American
Lyrics
Crack of dawn I hit the road
Set my shoulders for the heavy load
Coffee leaking
Through the paper sack
The foreman says I'm late again
He can't stand it when I only grin
He's got me eight hours
She's got me after that
I can't wait till it's quitting time
She got something cooking for me tonight
Chorus
She keeps the home fires burning
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for it's pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
And again
Out of gas just my luck
Four bald tires on my pickup truck
No more credit on my credit card
When I come home and hit that door
I remember what these aching arms are for
She's my one light when the world goes dark
Tomorrow it's the same old grind
But she'll be burning in my mind
Chorus
She keeps the home fires burning
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for it's pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh and it's her warm loving
That keeps me retuning again
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
(Home fires burning)
While I'm out earning a living in a world
That's known for it's pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh and its her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
She keeps the home fires burning
While I'm out a living in a world
That's known for it's pouring rain
She keeps the home fires burning
Ooh, and it's her warm loving
That keeps me returning again
Beautiful song that really puts me in a good mood

I’d rather be blind than dead. But preferably would like to retain all senses
Its only a hinder if you let it be. And I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 any day of the week. When your above ground you still get to 🙏 pray. When your below it you don't get that blessing anymore.
There's a Stranger in My House..... Somebody there that I can't see.... That lyric always gets me.
All right now 🙏🪷☮️🎶💐

The kind of woman that Ronnie was singing about here no longer exist anymore.
My wife would disagree.
