Album: Cry [Columbia]
(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 gonna head this semi straight for home.
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 singing
Singing my favorite song
And I know he's headin' my way
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home.
--- Instrumental ---
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 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'
Singing my favorite song
And I know he's headin' my way
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home.
I know he's headin' my way
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home.
I know he's headin' my way
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home.
I know he's headin' my way
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home.
I know he's headin' my way
Rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby's coming home...
