I'm Comin' Home

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 Monterrey 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: x2] Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain Bought a ticket on the late night train Took a taxi in the pourin' rain --- I'm Comin' Home - Robert Earl Keen, Jr.
