If you’re coming home, like your letters say
And the place you’re staying now, ain’t too far away
Can you write tonight, just to let me know
‘Cause since you’ve been away girl, I’ve missed you soYou won’t let me down, ’cause I’m sure you’re homeward bound
And you’ll be back safe and sound, ’cause I just knowBaby make it soon, make it soon (I can’t wait another day)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I know I need you, come on)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (I need you right away)
Baby make it soon, make it soon (Lord I’ve gotta see you)
Right back here, here in my armsIf you’re coming home like you promised to
Will you write tonight and tell me what you’re gonna do
