(That you're comin' home - I will lay awake)
And I never will go away

(Come on home)
I'm comin' home, baby now
(You know I'm waitin' at the door)
They can't hold me back now, no-oh-oh more
(I'm alone)
I'm pressin' on, baby now
(And pacing up and down the floor)
Oh hear me holler and hear me roar
(Say you'll be with me)
Gonna be with you ever more (ever more)
I'm comin' home
(Come on home)
I'm comin' home, baby now
(Oh baby, say you're comin' home)
That's what I say, I say I'm comin' home
(Something's wrong)
The road is long, baby now
(You ought to either write or phone)
I'm comin' home and never more to roam
(Baby, tell me you're - comin' home)
Baby, I'm for sure - comin' home
I'm comin' home
(Come on home)
I'm comin' home, baby now
(Come on home)
I'm comin' home, baby now
(Come on home)
I'm comin' home, baby now
(Come on home)
Comin' home, baby now.
