When I get home, Im gonna clean up my house
When I get home, Im gonna kick out that mouse
When I get home, Im gonna put things in order
But right now, right right now, right now Im a-roaming

When I get home, Im gonna make that call
When I get home, Im gonna talk it through
When I get home, Im gonna straighten it out
But right now, right now, right now Im a-roaming

When I get home, Im gonna give up the booze
When I get home, Im gonna get me some food
When I get home, Im gonna quit them drugs
But right now, right now, right now Im a-roaming

When I get home, Im gonna call my mother
When I get home, Im gonna cook her some dinner
When I get home, Im gonna invite my brothers
But right now, right right now, right now Im a-roaming

When I get home, Im gonna see my little boy
When I get home, Im buy him a little toy
When I get home, hes gonna jump for joy
But right now, right right now, right now Im a-roaming

When I get home, Im gonna unpack my bags
When I get home, Im gonna wash these dirty rags
When I get home, Im gonna pack em up again
But Im gonna go, Im gonna go, Im gonna go right back roaming.
