Last night he called from Dallas he was havin' a beer at the Crystal Palace

He said honey you won't be alone for long

I got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring in Little Rock

And I'm gonna head this semi straight for home

Fourteen wheels a whinin' four big headlights shinin'

Him and that semi been away too long

Hope he don't get stop from speedin' cause I've got everything he's needin'

Waitin' for him right here at home

He's got that big ole engine singin' singin' my favorite song

And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home

[ guitar ]

Ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him

And forty truckstops since I held him tight

A million chicks and he can get 'em they want to make love and he won't let 'em

The only thing he wants he'll get tonight

He's got that big ole engine singin'...

And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home

And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway

Tonight my baby's comin' home
