Get your face all pretty and your hair done right
Cause we're gonna do the town tonight
I’m comin' into town and a right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind
I'm a coming home - I gotta make some love
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
Well I see down the road there's a big truck stop
They got a pretty little waitress with a carrot top
She's pretty as a doll pretty as can be
But don't you worry honey, she ain't nothin' to me
I'm a coming home - I gotta make some love
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
[guitar]
Well I came to a hill and the truck lugged down
Throwed it in low and she's huggin' the ground
Scratchin' gears but I'm goin' again, I'm comin' home baby, I'm doggin' it in
I'm a coming home - I gotta make some love
I'm a coming home, sweet turtle dove
I'm a coming home, to make sweet love to you
Get your face all pretty and your hair done right
Cause we're gonna do this town tonight
Well I’m comin' into town right on time I still got your lovin' on my mind
I'm a coming home I gotta make some love
I'm a coming home sweet turtle dove
I'm a coming home to make sweet love to you
Get your face all pretty and your hair done right,
'cos i'm gonna review this song tonight..............................
If you loop the first the first bar, or the first two bars, of this track (i.e. Jonny Horton singing it on the original recording, not oneself on a guitar), you will find a perfect example of the tribal and rooted nature of rockabilly and why it has long survived as a genuine communicator of our need to rebel; against anything.
The emotive power and topicality of the lyrics may leave alot to the imagination but the raw power of this fantasticly chugging track sure do make up for it in a bigger than you thought kind of way.
Not only a seminal track of the era but also a track of great importance to the general upkeep and historical value of rebel music as a whole.
Jonny Horton also proves with comin' home that you only need two chords and a great feel to make a 'landmark'.
This track never fails to wake my shiny-ass out of it's lazy modern sleep.
