Tonight My Baby’s Coming Home Songtext
von Tammy Wynette

Last night, he called from Dallas
He was havin′ a beer at the Crystal Palace
He said, "Honey, you won't be alone for long
I′ve got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring at Little Rock
And I'm a-gonna head this semi straight for home"

14-wheeled a-whinin', four big headlights shinin′
Him and that semi been away too long
Hope he don′t get stop from speedin'
′Cause I've got everything he′s needin'
Waitin′ for him right here at home

He's got that big ol' engine singin′, singin′ my favorite song
And I know he's headin′ my way, rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby′s comin' home


For ten thousand miles, I′ve missed him
It's been a week since I kissed him
And 40 truckstops since I held him tight
A million chick and he can get 'em
They wanna make love and he won′t let ′em
The only thing he wants, he'll get tonight

He′s got that big ol' engine singin′, singin' my favorite song
I know he′s headin' my way, rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby′s comin′ home
I know he's headin′ my way, rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby′s comin' home

I know he′s headin' my way, rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby′s comin′ home
I know he's headin′ my way, rollin' down the highway
Tonight my baby′s comin' home
