Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I hit it pretty hard again yesterday
But I was only waitin' up to hear you say
"You'd better watch out where you're walkin'"
So I tip toe around everywhere I go
Home from the place where the good times roll
Holdin' my shoes standin' at the back door
When I come home, when I come home
When I come home from honky tonkin'
Well, I was thrown in the back of a Country Squire
I hit my head on an amplifier
Sleepin' on the bass and the spare tire
I can feel that highway rockin'
And so I'm waitin' on the end of another spree
I hope you're waitin' right there for me
Save a little bit of your love for me
When I come home from honky tonkin'
When I come home, when I come home
When I come home from honky tonkin'
When I come home, when I come home
When I come home from honky tonkin'

Well, I smoked and drank another night away
I spent another night smoking and drinking excessively
I hit it pretty hard again yesterday
I overindulged again yesterday
But I was only waitin' up to hear you say
"You'd better watch out where you're walkin'"
I was only staying up late to hear you warn me about being careful
So I tip toe around everywhere I go
Home from the place where the good times roll
So now I'm being cautious and sneaking around, returning home from the party scene
Holdin' my shoes standin' at the back door
When I come home from honky tonkin'
I come back carrying my shoes and standing at the back door after a night out honky tonkin'
Well, I was thrown in the back of a Country Squire
I hit my head on an amplifier
Sleepin' on the bass and the spare tire
I can feel that highway rockin'
I ended up in the back of a car and hit my head on some equipment, then slept on the bass and spare tire in a moving vehicle
And so I'm waitin' on the end of another spree
I hope you're waitin' right there for me
Save a little bit of your love for me
When I come home from honky tonkin'
Now I'm waiting for the end of another round of partying, hoping you'll be there for me and keep a little love saved for me when I come back from honky tonkin'
When I come home, when I come home
When I come home from honky tonkin'
Repeating that I'm returning home from honky tonkin'
