Lyrics
The things I do sometimes seem wrong
Been on the road for way too long
I'm lookin' for a time when I'll be comin' home
Miss you a little more every day
Love you more than I can say
Lookin' for a time when I'll be comin' home. (CH)
(CH):
Comin' home (comin' home), comin' home (comin' home)
Lookin' for a time when I'll be comin' home
Miss you a little more every day
Love you more than I can say
I'm lookin' for a time
When I'll be comin' home.
(instr, repeat CH)
The highway stretches out ahead
I'd like to be sleepin' in my own bed
Instead of travelin' on from town to town
Make no mistake, I love what I do
Except that it keeps me away from you
And I wouldn't mind right now to be comin' home
CH twice & out.
