Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain   Bought a ticket on a late night train   Took a taxi through the pourin' rain   I'm comin' home to you      Flew from Boston out to San Jose   Sae our old friends in Monterey Bay   When they asked me if I'd like to stay   I said I'm comin' home to you      CHORUS:   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 'till 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 bareques   There were people jammin' all night to the blues   Life is good out in Santa Cruz but   I'm comin' 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 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      CHORUS x 2      Packed my suitcase and I racked my brain   Bought a ticket on the late night train   Took a taxi in the pourin' rain...…
