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 got to make just one more stop to pick up a ring in Little Rock And I'm a gonna head this semi straight for home Fourteen wheels 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 ole engine singin' singin' my favorite song And I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home [ guitar ] For ten thousand miles I've missed him it's been a week since I kissed him And forty 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 ole engine singin'... I know he's headin' my way rollin' down the highway Tonight my baby's comin' home I know he's headin' my way... I know he's headin' my way...
