lyrics

Well I woke up in a hotel room with my baby on my mind
I’ve been travelin’ on this lonely road so long I’ve lost the time

She’s been waitin and a wonderin and a wishin me home
I’ve been starin at her pictures on my phone
I’m just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight

Yes I marked this day on my heart and soul so many long weeks ago
It’s true we chat online sometimes, but it makes me want to see her more

She’s been hopin and a hurtin and a holdin on
Smellin my t-shirts while I’ve been gone
I’m just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
---
Well the day has come and I’m on my way to see the love of my life
Once I feel her in my arms again, everything’s gonna be alright
---
She’s been yearnin and a burnin and churnin inside
I’ve been waitin forever to be by her side
I’m just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight

We’ve been textin all day talkin bout what we’ll do when we meet again
My body’s trembling and my hearts on fire I can’t wait to feel her skin

She’s been heavin and a’ breathin and callin my name
I said damn baby girl you got me goin insane
I’m just tryin to get home, to see my baby tonight
---
Well I gotta catch my plane in Terminal 3 and then I’ll be flyin high
Another five hours up in the air and then a midnight taxi ride
----
She’s been thinkin so hard what she’s gonna do
I said it don’t matter honey, I just want you
I’m just tryin to get home, to see my baby tonight

Yeah my seatbelt’s already off as the taxi rounds that final bend
With the windows down and my spirits up, my journey has come to an end

Now she’s looking at me longingly coming up the road
I drop my bags into her arms I go
I finally made it home to see my baby tonight
---
Well I tell you my man the lovin this woman is givin me is oh so good
I just might pack my bags again and hit the road if I only could
---
Cause everytime I leave she loves me more
The best kisses I get are when I walk through the door
Gonna head out today and see my baby tonight
