I'm Coming Home
Tommy and The Terrors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna make it back to my father's mansion.
I'm gonna make it. But at last I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home.

Here I stand. Been such a long time comin'.
Here I am. Now at last I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home. Mm-mm-mm.
I get weary, but I don't mind walkin'.
Don't get dreary, 'cause at last I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home, I'm comin' home. Mm-mm-mm.

I'm comin' home. Been too long.




I'm comin' home. Way too long.
I'm comin' home. I'm gonna make it. Here I come
