Last night babe I had an awful dream You were gone and far away from me Though you promised you'd be back before too long I don't know babe when you're coming home I heard your voice today so warm and sweet You said you'd do anything to be with me But how could this be when I'm still all on my own I don't know babe where you're coming from I got a phone call from your family About some kind of trouble you might be in And some talk about you going broke I don't know babe how you're getting home I got a letter from the governor That said you'd be back by December But I know how much you like it on the road I don't know babe if you're coming home Well you made it out and now you're free To see everything you want to see And go everywhere you want to go I don't know babe why you're coming home
