I'm Coming Home
Hot Boogie Chillun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

get your face all pretty
and your hair done right,
we're going to do this town tonight
coming into town and and right on time
still got your lovin' on my mind

I'm coming home
I gotta makes some love
I'm coming home
sweet turtledove
I'm coming home
make sweet love to you

now see, down the road,
there's a big truck stop
they got a pretty little waitress
with her hair on top
she's pretty as a dog
pretty as can be
but don't you worry honey
she means nothing to me

I'm coming home
I gotta makes some love
I'm coming home
sweet turtledove
I'm coming home
make sweet love to you

well, we came to a hill
and the truck went down
throw in low and she's
hugging the ground
switching the gears
but I"m gone again
I'm coming home baby
and I dogging it in

I'm coming home
I gotta makes some love
I'm coming home
sweet turtledove
I'm coming home
make sweet love to you

get your face all pretty
and your hair done right,
we're going to do this town tonight
coming into town and and right on time
still got your lovin' on my mind

I'm coming home
I gotta makes some love
I'm coming home
sweet turtledove




I'm coming home
make sweet love to you
