"Tonight My Baby's Coming Home" lyrics

Tonight My Baby's Coming Home

Last night he called from Dallas
He was having a beer at the Crystal Palace
And 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 for speeding
Cause I've got everything he's needing
Waiting for him right here at home

He's got that big old 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 chicks, he can get them
They wanna make love and he won't let them
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight

He's got that big old engine singing
Singing my favorite song
And I know he's heading my way
Rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home

I know he's heading my way
Rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home

I know he's heading my way
Rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home

I know he's heading my way
