Oh God
Rod Stewart · Other Songs - Rod Stewart
The rain poured down the wind-swept Avenue
On another dark wet December-afternoon.
AII my cherished memories are of you
AII my warmth and comfort stayed with you.
I would have wrote you a letter
But the telephone calls are free
'cos the boys in the next apartment
Are working all day.
They're a great bunch of guys
But I think they're all gay.
What am I doing avoiding what I'm trying to say?
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight -
With you in my arms.
But oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
Send me a naked picture by the U.S.Mail
Write a pornographic letter - you know I won't tell.
Keep you're legs closed tight
Keep your body under lock and key
Stay home at night and
Save all the best parts for me - yeah
baby.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight -
Yes
I do
baby
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
I could be home in time for Christmas
If you want me to be
There's a plane leaves here at midnight
Arriving at three.
But I'm a bit financially embarassed I must admit
To tell you the truth
my honey - I haven't a cent.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight - tonight
baby
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight.
Guess I'd better ring off before the boys get home
My regards to all your family and everyone at home
There's a lump comes in my throat and a tear I can't hide
'cos I want to see you so badly I just may die.
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight - with the ones that I love
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight
Oh God
I wish I was home tonight
Oh my God
I wish I was home toniclht.
I've been hearing voices out on the street
They say you've found someone else who's really quite near.
Bet he doesn't love you like I do
tell me what I wanna hear
That it just ain't true.
On another dark wet December-afternoon.

Oh God - Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart's "Oh God" stands as a defining track from his 1971 album, capturing the raw energy and rebellious spirit of early rock and roll revivalism. The song features Stewart's signature raspy vocals and driving rhythm, reflecting the post-Beatles era's shift toward a grittier, more personal approach to rock music. Released during a period where Stewart was redefining the role of the rock star, the recording showcases his ability to blend traditional blues influences with contemporary pop sensibilities. As a staple of his discography, the track remains a powerful example of mid-1970s British rock, resonating with audiences who appreciate its unpolished authenticity and enduring melodic strength.
