I've been gone so long, I feel like I'm dead
I miss my house, my dog and my bed
And then there's my baby, she's so good lookin'
Most of all I miss my baby's cookin'
I'm a-comin' home to see my sweet good lookin'
I'm a-comin' home to get the home fires burnin'
Well, I'm hungry for some lovin' and I need my baby's home cookin'

Well, I've been out three weeks on the road
When I get home tonight, I'm gonna put down my load
Gonna take her in my arms for some lovin' and a-mitchin'
I'm gonna do some lovin', but it will be in the kitchen
I'm a-comin' home to see my sweet good lookin'
I'm a-comin' home to get the home fires burnin'
Well, I'm hungry for some lovin' and I need my baby's home cookin'

Well, my baby serves up the best dishes for me
Every single night a brand new recipe
And believe you me, that ain't all she's got
Every dish she serves, she serves it good and hot, wow!
I'm a-comin' home to see my sweet good lookin'
I'm a-comin' home to get the home fires burnin'
Well, I'm hungry for some lovin' and I need my baby's home cookin'

Well, my baby serves up the best dishes for me
Every single night a brand new recipe
And believe you me, that ain't all she's got
Every dish she serves, she... good and hot, wow!
I'm a-comin' home to get my sweet good lookin'
I'm a-comin' on home to get the home fires burnin'
Well, I'm hungry for some lovin' and I need my baby's home cookin'
Well, I'm hungry for some lovin' and I need my baby's home cookin'
