Tell my baby I'm gettin home now

Tell my baby I'm gettin home

She don't need me

I don't need me

Who's gonna need me?



Someone's cryin, somone's changin

Someone's stayin just the same

She don't live here

I don't live here

Who's gonna live here?



Tell my baby I'm gettin home now

Tell my baby I'm gettin home

She don't need me

I don't need me

Who's gonna need me?

Gettin' Home

Released on Beck's 1994 album *Golden Feelings*, "Gettin' Home" stands as a defining track of alternative country and indie rock. The song features Beck's signature falsetto vocals layered over a driving, acoustic-driven arrangement that blends folk storytelling with electronic textures. It captures the restless energy of the mid-90s music scene, reflecting themes of displacement and the search for belonging. As one of the era's most influential recordings, it helped cement Beck's reputation as a versatile artist capable of merging disparate genres into a cohesive, emotionally resonant sound. The track remains a staple of his discography, often cited alongside other hits like "No Money, No Honey" for its ability to evoke a specific mood of urban isolation and eventual resolution.
