Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain I bought a ticket on the late night train Took a taxi through the pourin' rain I'm comin' home to you Flew from Boston out to San Jose Saw our old friends in Monterey Bay When they asked me if I'd like to stay I said I'm comin' home to you 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 'til 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 barbeques There were people jammin' to the all-night blues Life is great out in Santa Cruz But I'm comin' home to you 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 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 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 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 Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain I bought a ticket on the late night train Took a taxi through the pourin' rain
