Tonight My Baby's Coming Home
Longing and Anticipation: Homecoming Journey of Love
Lyrics
Last night he called from Dallas he was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace
Last night, he called from Dallas while having a beer at the Crystal Palace.
He said honey you won't be alone for long
He assured that the separation won't last long.
I got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring in Little Rock
He needs to make a stop in Little Rock to pick up a ring before heading straight home.
And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home
He plans to drive his semi-truck back home.
Fourteen wheels a whinin' four big headlights shinin'
Describing the truck with fourteen wheels and four big headlights.
Him and that semi been away too long
He and his semi-truck have been away for too long.
Hope he don't get stop from speedin' cause I've got everything he's needin'
Hopeful that he won't get stopped for speeding; she has everything he needs waiting at home.
Waitin' for him right here at home
She is waiting for him at home.
He's got that big ole engine singin' singin' my favorite song
His truck's engine is making a comforting sound, playing her favorite song.
And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Confident that he is on his way, rolling down the highway.
Tonight my baby's comin' home
Tonight is the anticipated night when her baby is coming home.
For ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him
Expressing how much she has missed him over ten thousand miles and a week without seeing him.
And forty truckstops since I held him tight
Highlighting the numerous truck stops and the longing to hold him tight.
A million chick and he can get 'em they want to make love and he won't let 'em
Despite many admirers, he remains faithful, not allowing anyone else into his heart.
The only thing he wants he'll get tonight
Emphasizing that the only thing he desires is awaiting him tonight.
He's got that big ole engine singin'
Reiteration of the comforting sound of the truck's engine.
I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway
Reaffirming the belief that he is on his way, rolling down the highway.
Tonight my baby's comin' home
Reiteration that tonight is the special night when her baby is coming home.
I know he's headin' my way
Confidence that he is heading her way.
I know he's headin' my way
Reaffirmation that he is heading her way.
