Coming Home
Lyrics and Music by Dave Wright
© 2016

All I see before me- sky and open road,
And something in the air, reminding me of home.
Driving through the dark and not a place to rest in sight,
The last thing I want to do- be on this road tonight.

But I’ve got six hundred miles to go,
Five hundred miles to go.

I’m so tired baby but I’m going to take a chance,
Just put my foot down in one last mercy dash,
And Officer if you’re watching please don’t stop me this time,
Darling leave the lights on- I’m coming home tonight.

So nine to five- that’s not how I live
I sure miss you at day’s end.
And the telephone can’t bring you to life,
You may not be beside me but you sure been on my mind.

But I’ve got four hundred miles to go,
Three hundred miles to go.

I’m so tired baby but I’m going to take a chance,
Just put my foot down in one last mercy dash,
And Officer if you’re watching please don’t stop me this time,
Darling leave the lights on- I’m coming home...

I’ve crossed this country, from end to end.
But baby all it feels like is one big empty bed.
It’s too quiet at night without you breathing next to me,
And it’s no good forgetting you because baby you’re all I see.

I’ve got two hundred miles to go,
One hundred miles to go and then I’m home.

I’m so tired baby but I’m going to take a chance,
Just put my foot down in one last mercy dash,
And Officer if you’re watching please don’t stop me this time,
Darling leave the lights on- I’m coming home tonight.

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric image

Dave Wright & The Midnight Electric Melbourne, Australia

Singer/songwriter/bandleader Dave Wright is after one thing: A perfect 4-minute pop song.
When he puts pen to paper and pick to guitar strings, however, the Melburnian-by-way-of-Colac knocks out epics and ravers and boozers about girls, cars, Australia, mariticide, Diggers, truckers, sadness, sickness, drunks, heartbroken mothers, angry fathers, desperate sons … and death. Lots of death. ... more
