Robert Earl Keen - I'm Comin' Home lyrics

rate me

Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain

Bought a ticket on a late night train

Took a taxi through the pourin' rain

I'm comin' home to you

Flew from Boston out to San Jose

Sae our old friends in Monterey Bay

When they asked me if I'd like to stay

I said I'm comin' home to you

CHORUS:

I'm comin' home

Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do

Can't love nobody on the telephone

I'm comin' home to you

They threw a party there from dusk 'till dawn

Seems like everybody knows old sleepy John

He said next time I better bring you along

I'm comin' home to you

They had fresh caught salmon on the bareques

There were people jammin' all night to the blues

Life is good out in Santa Cruz but

I'm comin' home to you

CHORUS

I drove forever out to God knows where

Come ten-thirty there was no one there

They couldn't pay me but I didn't care

I'm comin' home to you

I'm feelin' better since I got your card

I read it over and over when the road gets hard

Ain't nothin' better than your own backyard

I'm comin' home to you

CHORUS x 2

Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain

Bought a ticket on the late night train

Took a taxi in the pourin' rain...…
