Tonight My Baby's Coming Home

(album: Bedtime Story - 1972)

Last night he called from Dallas he was having a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said honey you won't be alone for long
I got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring in Little Rock
And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home
Fourteen wheels a whining four big headlights shining
Him and that semi been away too long
Hope he don't get stop from speeding cause I've got everything he's needing
Waiting for him right here at home
He's got that big ole engine singing singing my favorite song
And I know he's heading my way rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home

For ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him
And forty truckstops since I held him tight
A million chick and he can get 'em they wanna make love and he won't let 'em
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
He's got that big ole engine singing...
I know he's heading my way rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home
I know he's heading my way...
I know he's heading my way...
