(Billy Sherrill - Glenn Sutton)



Last night he called from Dallas

He was havin' 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.



He's got that big ole engine singin'

Singin' my favorite song

And I know he's headin' my way

Rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home.



Instrumental



Fourteen wheels a whinin'

Four big headlights shinin'

Him and that semi been away too long

Hope he don't get stop from speedin'

'Cause I've got everything he's needin'

Waitin' for him right here at home.



He's got that big ole engine singin'

Singin' my favorite song

And I know he's headin' my way

Rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home.



Instrumental



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 singin'

Singin' my favorite song

And I know he's headin' my way

Rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home.



And I know he's headin' my way

Rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home.
