I’M LEAVING
I’m leaving
I won’t be back again
You know it’s been a long time coming
But I’m gonna miss her in the end

Take me back to them old times 
To where I didn’t have a care
I’ve taken the time to notice
All the good times being shared
I’ll miss the drinks on Fridays
After we been working on the land
But if I could have just one more day
You know I wouldn’t anyway

Cause I gotta be leaving
Won’t be back again
You know it’s been a long time coming 
I’m gonna miss her in the end

I know we gotta make some changes
Find me a place to call my own
So many good times and memories
You know I’ll miss that old home
Say my goodbyes to old Rosie
Buried in the yard
Is there something in this land
To help me understand

Why I gotta be leaving
Won’t be back again
Well you know it’s been a long time coming 
And I’m gonna miss her in the end
And I hope one day I’ll see you again 
Reminisce on the all times we shared as friends 
So much time gone by 
Look how you have changed
But I hope you found someone to love you 
Like I did then 

Before I had to be leaving
I won’t be back again
You know it’s been a long time coming 
But I’m gonna miss her in the end

Why I gotta be leaving
I won’t be back again
But you know it’s been a long time coming 
I’m gonna miss her in the end

I've got to be
I’ve got to be
I’ve got to be leaving
Well you know it’s been a long time coming
I’m gonna miss her in the end

I’ve got to be
My girl and me

I’ve almost said my goodbyes
I know I’ll miss her in the end

OCEANS OF EMOTIONS
When I first met you baby, everything I knew
Wasn’t any brighter, than a shade of blue
Your blue eyes and brown hair, how could I resist?
But the colour of your stare, it doesn’t compare

Times were better when I was still there
I was better when I was still there

Now we’re swimming through
Oceans of emotions, seven days at a time
Oh the waters blue and so are you
I won’t be running out any time soon

I go up and I come down
When I remember the day, I was still around
Yeah the water was just right, like your lips so warm
But now my heart is torn, between the rose and the thorn

Yeah times were better when I was still there
I was better when I was still there

Now we’re swimming through
But oceans of emotions, seven days at a time
Oh the waters blue and so are you
I won’t be running out any time soon

Now we’re swimming through
Oceans of emotions seven days at a time
Oh the waters blue and so are you
I won’t be running out any time soon
I won’t be running out any time soon
I won’t be running out any time soon

TAKE MY HEART
Take the time to notice what you really need, 
You’ll find it’s a little more simple, than what you thought before,
But I can say for certain that I’ve got more than I ever had before,
By remembering the little things that make my heart warm.

So take my heart and cut it into two,
After all the only thing missing from me was you,
You’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re the air I breathe,
Cause after all the only thing missing from me was you.

So take my eyes cause after all they’re useless,
Oh just one look at you, it’s all they ever wanna do,
And take my time, cause I no longer need it,
After all the time I’ve had, all I got left is for you.

And take my heart and cut it into two,
After all the only thing missing from me was you,
Oh you’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re the air I breathe baby,
Cause after all the only thing missing from me was you.

And I’ll stay awake dreaming of the times with you,
And I will always hold you, you know that’s true,

Cause you’re all I want, you’re all I need, you’re the air I breathe ,
Oh cause you’re the only thing missing,
And you’re the only thing missing, it’s you,

Yeah it’s you
It's you
It's you
It’s you
You’re all I want baby
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
You’re all I want
It’s you
All I want is you

LONDON BRIDGE
You wanna start a fire
Build a bridge to take you higher

To see an old country view

Show the people you’re helping
Well I’ll tell you you’re dreaming
Can’t you see your rocks melting?

You wanna build home
Make it cosy and warm
Well baby you ain’t dreaming
That home of yours is burning.

Flames growing higher than the sky line

Flames growing higher than the sky line

Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl
Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

Every day since I’ve been gone

And after all the pain I’ve seen babe
If I close my eyes I’ll be home soon

So carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

Just some worn out boots to call my home

So carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl
Carry me home to see my baby
Carry me home to see my girl

This beaten land won’t let me stand
I lie as I dream of you

If I close my eyes I’ll be home soon
If I close my eyes I’ll be home soon

BLIND WITHOUT YOU
Where do I see myself going 
These lights are brighter than the sun
This road was laid with flowers
I picked for you each and every one

I’m blind without you
Without you in my arms
I’m blind without you
Without you in my arms

The rose you gave was never red
It was sharp and tore my heart instead 
Now it’s everything I bled 
You share your tears with everyone but me 
I’m fighting hard for you to see 
Beyond that evergreen 

I’m blind without you
Without you in my arms
I’m blind without you
Without you in my arms

Every day I go to sleep
I’m locked inside a broken dream 
I do everything for you
I've got no time to breath the air 
And I’m not going anywhere 
Beyond that evergreen

I’m blind without you
Without you in my arms
I’m blind without you
Without you in my arms

That rose it has a power to make a heart
Or to make a heart bleed 
Now I’m blind it seems I can see
Now you see that rose was never for me

RICH MAN
Call me, call me a rich man
Ain’t no dollar in my pocket I own
Oh you and me baby, ain’t nothing but free
From the air in our bones and the love we bring
And in our hearts, there ain’t nothing we own but time

Yeah yeah yeah oh
They call me, call me a rich man
Ain’t no dollar in my pocket I own
Oh you know they call me, call me a rich man
Ain’t no dollar in my pocket I own

Oh he struts with a sadness, but he can’t see 
The rich man with a heavy heart of responsibility 
Oh the more he earns, the more he spends 
But it’s all just bits of paper in the end
And on that paper there ain’t nothing he wrote but time

Yeah, but time, yeah yeah yeah
They call me, they call me a rich man
Ain’t no dollar, in my pocket I own
Oh you know they call me, call me a rich man
Ain’t no dollar, in my pocket I own

Oh you know they call me, call me a rich man
Ain’t no dollar in my pocket I own
Oh you know they call me, yeah that’s why they call me
That’s why they call me,
That's why they call me,
You know they call me, don’t you know they call me
Call me a rich man,

Gotta be, gotta be, gotta be
Ain’t no dollar on me

There ain’t nothing we own but time
Oh but time
Oh that’s why they call me, that’s why they call me the rich man
Gotta be gotta be gotta be

REMEMBER THE TIME
I remember when we were in love,
I remember how it used to feel,
I remember when we were happy, 
Was it a lie or was that real,

Feels like we’re going through changes,
We can’t control the strain,
But we can’t feel any pity or pain, 
For the way in which we changed,

Said I can’t help but remember the time,
When I first took your hands in mine,
Oh we were in love that day, we were in love that day,
The memory I wanna stay, yeah,
The memory I wanna stay, oh

Did I take too much time to notice,
The way in which we drifted apart, oh baby,
So I guess we gotta find our own way, 
Like strangers in a broken heart

But is there any rhyme or reason in trying to fight the change,
In our hearts I know where we wanna to be,
I know we can take the strain

But I can’t help but remember the time,
When I first took your hands in mine,
Oh we were in love that day, we were in love that day. 
The memory I wanna stay, yeah
The memory I wanna stay, oh baby

Cos I don’t think we can make it through,
Cos I know that this stuff is true,

But I can’t help but remember the time,
When I first took your hands in mine,
Oh we were in love that day, we were in love that day,

The memory I wanna stay,
The memory I wanna stay,
The memory I wanna stay, yeah
The memory I wanna stay, yeah

WHAT WILL BE
I’ll be whatever you want me to be
I’ll be the wind for the clouds to be free
But when that cold wind blows
I’ll keep you warm and close to me

I’ll be the mayflower for your monsoon
The broken record to the time, timeless tune
I’ll be that promise, oh that you’ll be home soon

But how many times do I need to break
For you and your need, need for a saint
I will be whatever you want me to be
But it ain’t gonna be what you need from me

I’ll be whatever you want me to be
I’ll be the crack for the light to be free
If you need a saviour, for you I’ll part the sea

How many times do I need to break
Oh for you and your need for a saint
I’ll be whatever, ever you want me to be
But it ain’t gonna be, whatcha need from me

How many times do I need to break
For you and your need for a saint
I’ll be whatever, ever you want me to be
But it ain’t gonna be, no it ain’t gonna be,

Whatcha whatcha need from me,
What will be will be
Whatcha whatcha need from me,
What will be will be
Whatcha whatcha need from me,
What will be will be
Whatcha whatcha need from me,
What will be will be

LET ME LET YOU DOWN

Let me tell you a story
About two people in love
It’s not always that easy no
In fact it gets pretty tough
But after all these years
If there’s one thing I’ve found
It’s that one way or another Someone’s gonna get let down
But honey that’s gonna be alright But I promise you that most
Every night
We’re still gonna fight, most every night So let me let you down
Let me let you down

If you told me I was perfect
I’d tell you you’re wrong
If you said we had a chance at this
I hope it’s gonna be a long one
I could write you the perfect love song Or I’ll write you a poem
It’s not gonna be perfect
The facts are gonna be wrong
But honey that’s gonna be alright Well I promise you that most every night We’re still gonna fight, most every night So let me let you down
Let me let you down

CARRY YOU

Well I’ve always known
Pain is like a heavy stone
It’s too much to carry
To carry alone

That’s the story of love
It takes time to know it’s true
You need someone to lean on
I need someone to lean on too Someone to help you through
So just let me carry you,
Carry you, carry you, carry you
You let me carry you,
Carry you, carry you, carry you
There ain’t no storm
That can last too long
There’s nothing we can’t handle
In the morning this rain is gonna be gone

Just you and me baby
We can weather what’s wrong
A heavy heart is a heavy load
To carry alone
To carry alone
So just let me carry you, carry you, Carry you, carry you, carry your load
If you let me carry you,
Carry you, carry you, carry you
I’ll be like a river, oh so strong And I’ll keep running to carry you on There’s no one place too far gone I’ll just keep running to carry you on
So just let me carry you,
Carry you, carry you, carry you
Just let me carry you,
Carry you, carry you, carry you

MAN OF THE UNIVERSE

Well I’ve been running since I was child, Running like a river after the rains have died Ain’t never had one place to call my home Lay my head in a different place unknown
I wake up early and I wake late
But I never had time to hesitate
I pick up my paper and I pick up my bread There’s room on the road ahead
I don’t want no country to call my own
I don’t need one place to call my home
There ain’t no one place or
People that are better or worse
I’m a man of the universe
Like a good strong flowing river
That’s never been dammed
Never had to change never had no plan
To collect too much wealth it’s a curse
We never had the sense to change, What’s worse

Never needed no land never need no borders
Never needed to stay in one place
To count up pennies or quarters
Never had enough of them
To put in my own purse
I’m a man of the universe
I don’t want no country to call my own
I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place
Or people are better or worse
I’m a man of the universe
I’m a man of the universe
I’m not from here, I’m from the universe
I don’t want no country to call my own
I don’t need one place to call my home There ain’t no one place
Or people are better or worse
I’m a man of the universe
I’m a man of the universe
I’m not from here, I’m from the universe

HOLD ME

Hold me
Don’t hold me down
Carry me
But keep my feet on the ground

That storm is coming down hard
I’m your shelter every time it starts
But if you leave me, I’ll be moving on
You’ll have a hard time drying
When the fire is gone

I’ll hold ya
I won’t hold ya down
I’ll carry ya
But keep your feet on the ground

You’re the storm and I’m the Murray darling
You keep me going
Every time I’m dry
But if you leave me
I’ll be moving on
But have a hard time running
When the weather is gone

Hold me, don’t hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground
I’ll hold ya, I won’t hold ya down
I’ll carry ya, but keep your feet on the ground

In so many ways
I just keep pulling
But you’re pushing me away
Me away

Hold me, don’t hold me down
Carry me, but keep my feet on the ground
I’ll hold ya, I won’t hold ya down
Carry ya, but keep your feet on the ground
Hold me, don’t hold me down
Love me, but don’t let me drown

PAINT MY HEART

Heavy traffic on empty skies
Empty streets fill my eyes
Paint my heart with something new But then leave it all
I’ll leave it all to you
If the cold winds coming don’t let it stay I know I’ll try harder every day
I paint my heart with something new Then I’ll give it all
I’ll give it all back to you
In a letter that you sent to me
Came my heart for me to see
I’ll paint it with something new
Then I’ll send it on
I’ll send it on, back to you
Then I’ll send it on
Send it on back to you
In letter you sent to me
Came my heart for me to see
I’ll paint it with something new
Then I’ll send it on, I’ll send it on
Then I’ll send it on, send it on back to you

RAIN

Is that rain?
Or are you crying again?
Would it be the same if I could
Hold you my friend?
And know it’s hard to be alone
A soul with no face is a lonely embrace I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to be alone
Now there’s clouds
Between us all
And the road ain’t so clear
But we still walk or crawl
I know it’s hard to be alone
A soul with no face is a lonely embrace I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard to be alone
Oh so little
Come to me now
I wanna hold you
In any way I know how
We’re flying now with the powerful owl I’m gonna hold you
In any way I know how
Is that rain?
Or am I crying again?
A soul with no face is a lonely embrace I know it’s hard
I know it’s hard
But you ain’t gonna be alone

SO CAUGHT UP

I’m so caught up
I’m so caught up on you
I’m so caught up
I’m so caught up on you
Even if I tried to change it I can’t
My memory’s caught on you
Even if I try to think of something new I can’t They’re all of you
I’m denying the feeling of my mind
The feeling of change
There’s only one thing I can be certain
It’s true
I’m still caught on you
I’m so caught up
I’m so caught up on you
I’m so caught up
I’m so caught up on you
Every time I try to shake it I can’t
It’s impossible to do
Even if I try to break it no I can’t
A broken memory of you
I’ve been to 200 hundred cities and
Not known where I am
I’ve walked in the same direction again and again Oh baby, you making me crazy
You are always on my mind
You are always on my mind
I’m so caught up
I’m so caught up on you
I’m so caught up
I’m so caught up on you

SAN FRANCISCO

I’ve been waiting in San Francisco
To know you still care
Don’t let that white bird fly
Then I know you won’t be there
I’ll be sitting by my phone
Waiting for you to call
But I feel those winds have stopped now
Round our words we built a wall
I hope one day that wind will blow
Warm on my face
And you ride down upon it
With steel wings and open lace
I just hope one day you will land
Back on that doldrums shore in love I stand
We can break down that yellow stonewall
And let our words sail on the wind again
I’ve been waiting in San Francisco
To know you still care
Don’t let that white bird fly
Then I know you won’t be there
I won’t ask for your forgiveness
As it floats in the wind
I’ll let the light bring it
As it shines down on me
But before I feel that sunlight
Warm upon my face
I’ll be cold inside
And my words will lose pride
As the sun sets its place
My words will be frozen
As they float across the sea
Only your warmth will melt them
For you to hear me
I’ve been waiting in San Francisco,
To know you still care,
Don’t let that white bird fly
Then I know you won’t be there
I wish that I could hold you
And you wouldn’t freeze inside
My touch is too cold now
In dark regret I still hide

SUNSHINE BABY

Baby, sweet summers baby
How long have we been in love? You gone far away now my love You’re with the stars above

SUN COME EASE ME IN

Sun come ease me in
Ease me into the morning time Where the daylight begins Sun come ease me in
Ease me into the morning time Where the daylight begins Sun come ease me in

THAT BIRD

People they can be so unkind
If they’re not happy
If they can’t speak their mind
But unwind the needle just to find One more line, one more line
People they got something to say They can be carried or be carried away But it takes bricks and mortar
To speak your mind
So keep putting ‘em down, put ‘em down
That bird had song to sing
Something to say
Is it still here?
Or has it flown away?

This morning it had something to say
Is it still here?
Or has it flown away?
It reminds of a time where my memories fade Thoughts ain’t sharp unless they’re laid
But if I can’t remember
Will I feel it again?
All I need’s a piece of paper and pen
But you can take a photograph,
Or can you just be there,
Do you need to remember?
Or can you just be there?
If I kept my promise, would we still be friends? If I remembered would I feel it again?

CRYING SHAME

You’re just plain mean to me woman, and that’s a crying, crying shame
You’re just plain mean to me woman and that’s a crying, crying shame

So if you want me, say you’ll do
And if you need me, say you’ll do

It’s getting cold out here, I need it, I need some more of that flame.

So if you want me, say you’ll do
And if you need me, say you’ll do
And if you love me, say you’ll do
And if you can’t stand the sight of me, walk on by

PAIN AND MISERY

Love is a crazy game baby, that’s how I feel, it can make you so high, but it takes so long to heal

Sometimes I curse that day when you came along
I was happy buts it’s been pain now for so very long
So I’m begging honey please won’t you stay, cause i’ve been so lonely since you’ve gone away

Yeah I’m begging you honey
I want you to love me

SHINY MOON

When I was a baby, just a baby boy I never really got lonely, I never had to play with no toys
Cause any time that I’m feeling blue, I just look up and see, big old shiny moon was always looking down on me
Shiny moon, shiny moon

And in my teenage years all my time was spent
Didn’t have no time for girls, turned my back on my friends
Cause every night when that sun goes down and I’m too wired to sleep, shiny moon shine on down, she seduces me

Shiny moon, shiny moon

Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load
Shiny moon gonna help me when I’m feeling low
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load

Shiny moon, shiny moon

Now I’m a little bit older, I’m beginning to see
Shiny moon’s shined so bright she’s been blinding me
Cause every night, oh I, keep drowning in its rays yeah
Shiny moon never shined so bright as what it did these days

Shiny moon, shiny moon.

Shiny moon gonna hello me carry my load.
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load.
Shiny moon gonna help me when I’m feeling low.
Shiny moon gonna help me carry my load.

Shiny moon, shiny moon.

REASON WHY

I love my baby, but I can’t tell you the reason why
I love that woman, but I can’t tell you the reason why
The things she’s done to me, sometimes makes me wanna just lay down and die

I know what it feels like to hurt babe, I’ve seen some pain and misery.
I know what it feels like to hurt babe, I’ve seen some pain and misery.
But them things ain’t nothing, no to these things that you’ve done to me

Yeah I love that woman, but I couldn’t tell you the reason why.
I love that woman, but I can’t tell you the reason why
If I can’t make you love me, it ain’t because I didn’t try

I GET UP

It ain’t easy sometimes, trying to just get by
When you get broken down again, it ain’t because you didn’t try
I try to count the days that I’ve been disappointed
So many hard times, it gets disjointed

But it’s hard trying to make a living
When you get down again and you just keep giving

Every time I get up, something comes and brings me down
I get so low sometimes, feels like I’m level with the ground

I tried my best to make my way but it wasn’t enough
Desire burns when your dreams are close to touch
I’m working for the man till it gets dark
But the hardest part is starting from the start

Giving away everything, giving away everything
Trying to just get by

Every time I get up, something comes and brings me down
I get so low sometimes, feels like I’m level with the ground

LOUISA

Louisa please don’t drink that red red wine
Louisa please don’t drink that red red wine
I tell you in my the mornin', in the mornin’ you’ll be fine
Louisa please don’t drink that red red wine

Please don’t break that bottle on my head
Please don’t break that bottle on my head
I don’t want no other woman, no other woman in my bed
So please don’t break that bottle on my head

Louisa please put down that wooden spoon
Louisa please put down that wooden spoon
Louisa honey baby you know I’ve been a fool
Louisa please put down that wooden spoon

Louisa please put down that old shot gun, hey

You know that I’m not proud, I’m not proud I of what I’ve done
Louisa please put down that old shot gun

Louisa
You know that I’ll be runnin', forever and a day
Louisa I will go far far away

TIL THE SKY TURNS BLACK

Your Mumma’s gone on the morning train
She ain’t coming back, till the sun hangs low
She ain’t coming back, until the sky turns black

Hungry is my soul for a kiss, black lips
To see me through, black lips, to bring her home

Your Mamma’s gone, one the morning train
She ain’t coming back till the sun hangs low
She ain’t coming back, until the sky turns black

The day is heavy and I am weak, too weak
To carry the whole day through, too weak
To carry you

HARD FEELING

I had a pretty baby and man her love was sweet
She’s making crazy most every time we meet
But she’s just no good to me woman and I love her just the same
Yeah she’s just no good to me woman

But it’s a hard enough feeling, it’s a hard enough feeling, without your love it’s not the same.

I know you sharp baby, you’re sharp as a knife,
I had one piece of your loving but can you cut me off one more slice.

You’re still running round and round and round

But it’s a hard enough feeling, it’s a hard enough feeling, without your love it’s not the same.

And as time goes on I keep wondering where you’ve been
You’re the one that got away from me honey, and I just keep suffering

You’re still running, round and round and round.

But it’s a hard enough feeling, it’s a hard enough feeling, without your love it’s not the same.

HONEYMOON

I’m feeling blue
How bout yourself
I got strange feeling, nothing gonna change
Loving me can be hard, just like loving you

Where did you go, my sweet honey moon
I say where did you go, my sweet honey moon
Loving you was all so tender, but now it’s all so hard

You’re fire to the night you’re blind to my sight, what am I to you, but light that brings the dark

Where did you go, my sweet honey moon
Where did you go, where did you go
I need you so bad

I know my darling I’ll be back some day,
Maybe I’ll be older but I’ll feel just the same,
It’s not the land I miss here, not the trees the trees that grow and sway,
It’s the memories of laughter and the friends that shared this change.

It could be forever, a lifetime spent together, it could be, forever you and me.

My memories remain here, they’ll just stay in engrained, as people grow and lives change, the forest remains the same,
It’s not the land I miss here, not the trees that grow and sway, it’s the memories of laughter and the friends that shared this change.

It could be forever, a lifetime spent together.
It could be forever, a lifetime spent together.
It could be, forever you and me.

You caught me by surprise baby
How could something so wrong
Feel all so right
You’re kind of like a tornado baby
You blew right through me
You blew my mind
With them things you done to me

Because you’re right for me, right for me, right for me even though I know it’s wrong
If you don’t spend one night with me, night with me, night with me I don’t think I can carry on

You opened my eyes baby to some crazy scenes
You’re just like a drug running through my blood steam
I can’t keep my mind from the thought of you
If you don’t get out of my head, I don’t know what I’m going to do

Because you’re right for me, right for me, right for me even though I know it’s wrong
If you don’t spend one night with me, night with me, night with me I don’t think I can carry on

Repeat

I know you’re right for me
I know you’re right for me

I thought I knew everything before that night I met you
Now I keep searching and searching baby, but I can’t find nothing like you
The thoughts of you blinded me to see you, you just like macramé, you’ve tied your knots in me.

Because you’re right for me, right for me, right for me even though I know it’s wrong
If you don’t spend one night with me, night with me, night with me I don’t think I can carry on

Repeat

I know you’re right for me
I know you’re right for me

I close my eyes
And I’m still thinking of you,
Through the lonely year
We both been through.
I’ve been feeling so alone,
Back here baby without you home
There’s a dream I wanna hold on to
I’m still dreaming
of a Christmas
with you

There’s so much love gonna carry us on,
So much trust
even when you’re gone
I’m so glad we stayed in love together
Separated by the storm
And like the storm rain finds the river
And the river finds the sea
I know you’re coming back baby
Coming back to me
Cause I’ve been feeling so alone,
Back here baby without you home.
And there’s a dream I wanna hold on too
I’m still dreaming of a Christmas with you

No more sounds of crying
There’ll be laughter everywhere
I feel the seasons changing
No tear drops to fill the air
I know what Santa’s gonna be bringing
And I hear the sleigh bells ringing
Bringing me what I really, really need
Bringing my baby back to me

Murray river won’t seem so wide
Together we’ll see the other side
I look across and I can’t help but smile
My baby’s coming home in a little while
By the riverbank arm in arm
Like that baby we’ll head home
That’s the dream I wanna hold on to
I’m dreaming of a Christmas with yoU

I’ve been away, for a month of Sundays
December’s almost gone
I been working hard, been makin’ my bread
But a month is far too long

I haven’t earnt a million, But I’ve got presents for the children
Gonna keep my promise true
Heavy is my heart, ploughing through the driven snow
Racin’ to get home to you

Denver to Chicago, loaded up with cargo
Tryna get home to you

I’m runnin’ outta gas, I don’t wanna stop
My eyes are growing heavy
Gas station coffee, tastes bittersweet
But keeps my hand steady

I’ll keep my appetite, for Christmas mornin’
Baked ham and saveloys
I’ll keep my eyes on the road, as I fight from yawnin’
To see the children with their new toys

Denver to Chicago
Loaded up with cargo
Tryna get home to you

But please don’t wake the children
In the morning if there dreamin’
I’ll be coming home to you

I’ll be your little drummer boy
I’ll be your little drummer boy

Highway got me seeing double lines
Highway got me losing my mind

Denver to Chicago
Loaded up with cargo
Tryna get home to you

90 mile down the highway
Straight into the driveway
I’ll be coming home to you

But please don’t wake the children
In the morning if there dreamin’
I’ll be coming home to you

The only present I desire
Is to hold you by the fire
I’ll be coming home to you
I’ll be coming home to you
