Lefty Frizzell – I Was Coming Home To You lyrics

(Kendall Hayes - Jimmy Rule)

I just stopped off for a quick one at the tavern
Just a drink, well, maybe I had two
But I swore as I sat down at her table then
Darling, I was coming home to you.

Can't I help it if she was going my way
And we talked about old times we used to know
But I'm sure we had the green light at the corner
Anyone who saw the wreck will tell you so.

I was only goin' to drop her off at her place
And then darling I was coming home to you.

--- Instrumental ---

When you came you saw her lying there beside me
But believe me dear that old romance is through
And even though you saw her arms around me
Darling, I was coming home to you.

Oh, yes darling, I was coming home to you...
