I'm Coming Home
Coming Home for Love: A Sweet Reunion in Johnny Horton's Melody
Lyrics
Get your face all pretty and your hair done right
Prepare yourself, look attractive, and fix your hair because we have plans to enjoy the town tonight.
'Cause we're gonna do the town tonight
Emphasizing the intention to go out and have a good time.
I'm comin' into town and I'm right on time
The singer is arriving in town at the expected time.
Still got your lovin' on my mind
Despite being away, the singer still has thoughts of your love.
I'm a coming home, I gotta make some love
Expressing the desire to return home and engage in a romantic encounter.
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
Using "turtle dove" as a term of endearment for a loved one.
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
Reiterating the intention to return home and share intimate moments with the partner.
Well, I see down the road, there's a big truck stop
Observation of a truck stop along the journey.
They got a pretty little waitress with a carrot top
Describing a waitress with red hair at the truck stop.
She's pretty as a doll, pretty as can be
Complimenting the waitress's appearance.
But don't you worry, honey, she ain't nothin' to me
Assuring the partner that the waitress is of no romantic interest.
I'm a coming home, I gotta make some love
Repetition of the desire to return home and share love.
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
Reaffirming affection with the term "turtle dove."
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
Restating the intention to make love upon returning home.
Well, I came to a hill and the truck looked down
Encountering a hill during the journey.
Throwed in low and she's huggin' the ground
Engaging in technical details about the truck navigating the hill.
Scratchin' gears but I'm goin' again
Despite challenges, the journey continues with determination.
I'm comin' home, baby, I'm a doggin' it in
Expressing a playful attitude about arriving home despite difficulties.
I'm a coming home, I gotta make some love
Reiteration of the desire to make love upon returning home.
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
Continued use of "sweet turtle dove" as a term of endearment.
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
Restating the intention to engage in a romantic encounter upon arrival.
Get your face all pretty and your hair done right
Repeating the initial advice to look attractive for the night out.
'Cause we're gonna do this town tonight
Reiteration of plans to enjoy the town.
I'm comin' into town and I'm right on time
Reaffirmation of the singer's timely arrival in town.
Still got your lovin' on my mind
Repeating the idea that the partner is still in the singer's thoughts.
I'm a coming home, I gotta make some love
Reiteration of the desire to return home for a romantic encounter.
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
Continued use of "sweet turtle dove" to express affection.
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
Restating the intention to make sweet love upon returning home.
