I'm Comin' Home

(album: Gringo Honeymoon - 1994)

Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain,
I bought a ticket on the late night train.
Took a taxi through the pouring rain,
I'm coming home to you.

Flew from Boston out to San Jose,
Saw our old friends in Monterey Bay.
When they asked me if I'd like to stay, I said
I'm coming home to you.

I'm coming home,
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do.
Can't love nobody on the telephone,
I'm coming home to you.

They threw a party there from dusk till' dawn,
Seems like everybody knows ol' Sleepy John.
He says next time I down here, bring you along,
I'm coming home to you.

There's fresh caught salmon on the bar-b-q's
There were people jamming to the all nite blues
Life is good out in Santa Cruz, but
I'm coming home to you.

I'm coming home,
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do.
Can't love nobody on the telephone,
I'm coming home to you.

I drove wherever out to god knows where,
Come 10:30 there was no one there.
They couldn't pay me, but I didn't care,
I'm coming home to you.

I'm feeling better since I got your card.
I read it over and over when the road gets hard.
Ain't nothing better than your own backyard.
I'm coming home to you.

I'm coming home,
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do.
Can't love nobody on the telephone,
I'm coming home to you.

I'm coming home,
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do.
Can't love nobody on the telephone,
I'm coming home to you.

Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain,
I bought a ticket on the late night train.
Took a taxi through the pouring rain.
