I'm Comin' Home Lyrics - Robert Earl Keen

Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain 

Bought a ticket on a late night train 

Took a taxi through the pourin' rain 

I'm comin' home to you 

Flew from Boston out to San Jose 

Sae our old friends in Monterrey Bay 

When they asked me if I'd like to stay 

I said I'm comin' home to you 

[Chorus] 

I'm comin' home 

Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do 

Can't love nobody on the telephone 

I'm comin' home to you 

They threw a party there from dusk 'till dawn 

Seems like everybody knows old sleepy John 

He said next time I better bring you along 

I'm comin' home to you 

They had fresh caught salmon on the bareques 

There were people jammin' all night to the blues 

Life is good out in Santa Cruz but 

I'm comin' home to you 

[Chorus] 

I drove forever out to God knows where 

Come ten-thirty there was no one there 

They couldn't pay me but I didn't care 

I'm comin' home to you 

I'm feelin' better since I got your card 

I read it over and over when the road gets hard 

Ain't nothin' better than your own backyard 

I'm comin' home to you 

[Chorus: x2] 

Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain 

Bought a ticket on the late night train 

Took a taxi in the pourin' rain
