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.

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.
