Swept the front porch
Put flowers ‘round the place
Combed my hair and baby
I shaved my face
When I got your letter
It took me by surprise
Got a bottle of Burgundy
Put on a collar and a tie

My girl’s coming home to me tonight
My girl’s coming back to me tonight
I know everything’s gonna be alright

When you said you were leaving
I couldn’t believe
When you left you took away
The best part of me
Now I’ve cleaned up real good
Told all your friends
I ain’t the same these days
Don’t want to let you go again

My girl’s coming home to me tonight
My girl’s coming back to me tonight
I know everything’s gonna be alright

There ain’t a cloud in the sky
Ain’t a hint of rain
I’m gonna make my way
Meet you down at the train
I can’t hardly wait
For your sweet, sweet touch
Oh baby
I missed you so much

My girl’s coming home to me tonight
My girl’s coming back to me tonight
I know everything’s gonna be alright
