Right about now, 
You'll find me on the highway
Pointin' my thumb 
At all the cars going my way
'Round about here, 
You'll see me gettin' rid of weary
I got no one left to keep me 
Warm and cheery

But the thought of comin' home
Keeps me goin' strong
Keeps me holy on
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)

All the girls in the city
Were cold and hard and pretty
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)

Right about now, 
I taste that old home cookin' 
(Home cookin')
I'm smackin' my lips,
I see it, not even lookin' 
(Oh, not looking)
Right about here, 
I hear my baby laughin' 
(Baby laughin')
And I'm losing my mind, 
Havin' the thoughts I'm havin'

But the thought of comin' home
Keeps me goin' strong
Keeps me holy on
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)

All the girls in the city
Were cold and hard and pretty
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)

Right about here a stranger waves
Come with me 
(Waves, come with me)
And I run like a rabbit
I can't tell him miss me 
(Tell me, you miss me)
The stranger asks me where's 
My destination 
(Destination)
So, I tell him and he says, 
Wrong direction

But the thought of comin' home
Keeps me goin' strong
Keeps me holy on
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)

All the girls in the city
Were cold and hard and pretty
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)

Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee)
Singin': (La-da-du-da, da-du-dee) …
