Pa[G]cked my suitcase, I racked my br[D]ain
[Em]I bought a ticket on a late n[C]ight train
To[G]ok a taxi through the pouring rai[D]n
I'[C]m coming home t[D]o you [G]
Flew from Boston out to San Jose
Saw our old friends in Monterrey Bay
When they asked me if i'd like to stay i said
I'm coming home to you
Chorus:
I'[G]m co[D]ming home
Ma[G]de up my mind thats what i'm gonna do[C]
[G]Can't love nobody on a t[D]elephone
[C]I'm coming h[D]ome to you[G]
They through a party there from dust till dawn
Seems like everybody knows old Sleepy John
He said next time i better bring you along
I'm coming home to you
They got fresh caught salmon on a barbeque
There were people jamming to the all night blues
Life is good out in Santa Cruz
But, I'm coming home to you
Chorus

I drove forever out to god knows where
Come ten thirty there was no one there
They couldn't pay me but i didn't care
I'm coming home to you
I'm feeling better since i got your card
I read it over and over when the road gets hard
Nothing better than your old back yard
I'm coming home to you
Chorus x2
Packed my suitcase, I racked my brain
I bought a ticket on a late night train
Took a taxi through the pouring rain........
