Lyrics
V1
Well you are my only girl
My only lady and I'm gonna keep it that way
When you're gone, I get cold
Just a little cold when you're not here to hold me tightly
PC1
And I miss you like a fat kid misses his cake
I miss you like a gardener misses his cake my dear
So get on the next plane train or automobile, say that you will....
Chorus
Speed on home to me (yeah)
Speed on home to me
V2
Well you are so beautiful
So beautiful and that ain't no bullshit baby
When you're gone I'm alone
Truly alone when you're in another time zone
PC2
And I miss you like a hippie misses his wake and bake
I miss you like a teenager misses his fake I.D.
So get on the next plane or train or automobile, say that you will...
Chorus
Speed on home to me (Come back where you belong)
Speed on Home to me (Say that you won't be long)
Cuz I'll be waiting at the platform with my best suit on and I'll be there everyday, oh baby till you come back home
Bridge
When I get you in the doorway, your clothes will be lying on the floor
All this time you were away just made me love you more
PC3
And I miss you like a hockey player misses his skates
I miss you like superman misses his cape it's clear
So get on the next plane or train or automobile, say that you will... (yeah)
Chorus
Speed on home to me (come back where you belong)
Speed on home to me (I pray that you won't be long)
Cuz I'll be waiting at arrivals with a sign in my hands
Purple heart beside your name just to let you know that I'm your man
Oh and I can't hardly wait until I have you in my arms again
