Well, I just bought my ticket from a ticket man
And I'm gonna take the midnight train
I'm a gonna get in at a half past ten
And I'm never gonna leave again

Well, I'm gonna pick up where we left off
Because we gotta get enough to do
And you better realize if the creeks don't rise
I'm a comin' back home to you

I'm a comin' back home to you
I'm a comin' back home to you
Well, you better realize if the creeks don't rise
I'm a comin' back home to you

--- Instrumental ---

Well, round and round I cut out to be
No, I was out of my natural style
But a feller needs a chance to settle down
And settlin' takes a while

But now I'm sure that it's you for me
And none else will ever do
So get your weddin' dress on
'Cause when I finish this song
I'm a comin' back home to you

I'm a comin' back home to you
I'm a comin' back home to you
So get your weddin' dress on
'Cause when I finish this song
I'm a comin' back home to you

I'm a comin' back home to you
I'm a comin' back home to you
I'm gonna be in second heaven
Down at quarter's eleven
I'm a comin' back home to you
