Well I woke up in a hotel room with my baby on my mind
I've been traveling on this lonely road so long I've lost the time
She's been waiting and a wondering and a wishing me home
I've been staring at her pictures on my phone
I'm just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
Yes I marked this day on my heart and soul so many long weeks ago
It's true that we chat online sometimes, but it makes me want to see her more
She's been hoping and a hurting and a holding on
Smelling my T-shirts while I've been gone
I'm just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
Well the day has come and I'm on my way to see the love of my life
Once I feel her in my arms again, everything's gonna be alright
She's been a yearning and a burning and churning inside
I've been waiting forever to be by her side
I'm just tryin to get home to see my baby tonight
We've been texting all day talking bout what we'll do when we meet again
My body's trembling and my hearts on fire I can't wait to feel her skin
She's been heaving and a breathing and calling my name
I said damn baby girl you got me going insane
I'm just tryin to get home, to see my baby tonight
I gotta catch my plane in Terminal 3 and then I'll be flying high
Another five hours up in the air then a midnight taxi ride
She's been thinking so hard what she's gonna do
I said don't matter honey, all I want is you
I'm just tryin to get home, to see my baby tonight
Yeah my seatbelt's already off as the taxi rounds that final bend
With the windows down and my spirits up, my journey's come to an end
Now she's looking at me longingly coming up the road
I drop my bags into her arms I go
I finally made it home to see my baby tonight
Well I tell you my man the loving this woman is giving me is oh so good
I just might pack my bags again and hit the road if I only could
Cause every time I leave she loves me more
The best kisses I get are when I walk through the door
I'm gonna head out today and see my baby tonight
Yes I'm gonna head out today and see my baby tonight
