I'm Comin' Home
Robert Earl Keen
G D
Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain
Em C
I bought a ticket on a late night train
G D
Took a taxi through the pouring rain
C D G
I'm comin' home to you
Flew from Boston out to San Jose
Saw our old friends in Monterrey Bay
When they asked me if I'd like to stay I said
I'm coming home to you
G D
I'm coming home
G C
Made up my mind that's what I'm gonna do
G D
Can't love nobody on a telephone
C D G
I'm coming home to you
They through 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 coming home to you
They got fresh caught salmon on a barbecue
There were people jammin' to the all night blues
Life is good out in Santa Cruz
But I'm coming 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 feeling better since I got your card
I read it over and over when the road gets hard
Nothing better than your old back yard
I'm coming home to you
Chorus x2
Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain
I bought a ticket on a late night train
Took a taxi through the pouring rain
