I rock you baby
When I pass your way
I give you lovin’
You know I can’t stay
Leavin’ town
Glad I caught you now
Nobody follow me
I’ll be back again

When I get home
Can’t wait to leave
Back on the road
That’s where I should be

Oohh
You think I’m crazy
I’ve been up too long
Give me two days off
I’ll be back as strong
Hey it’s alright
Hey it’s alright

I have to play
Every night and day

When I get home
Can’t wait to leave
Back on the road
Where I should be (yeah)

As I think back to when
Trouble times were then
Now I’m starting again

When I get home
Can’t wait to leave
Back on the road
Where I should be (yeah)

When I get home
Can’t wait to leave
Back on the road
Where I should be (yeah)
