Tonight My Baby's Coming Home (1972)
Last night he called from Dallas he was having a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said honey I won’t be gone for long
I gotta make one more stop to pickup a ring in Little Rock
Then I gonna head this semi straight for home

Fourteen wheels a-whining four big headlights shining
Him and that semi’s been away too long
Hope he don’t get stopped for speeding cause I’ve got everything he a-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 been a week since I’ve kissed him
And forty truck stops since I held him tight
A million chicks and he can get them they want to make love but 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

And I know he’s heading my way rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby’s coming home

And I know he’s heading my way rolling down the highway
Tonight my baby’s coming home
