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

When I get home,
I'm gonna make that call;
When I get home,
I'm gonna talk it through;
When I get home,
I'm gonna straighten it out...
But right now, right now,
right now I am a-roaming.

When I get home,
I'm gonna give up the booze;
When I get home,
I'm gonna eat me some food;
When I get home,
I'm gonna kick them drugs...
But right now, right now,
right now I am a-roaming.

When I get home,
I'm gonna call my mother;
When I get home,
I'm gonna cook her some dinner;
When I get home,
I'm gonna invite my brothers...
But right now, right right now,
right now I am a-roaming.

When I get home,
I'm gonna see my little boy;
When I get home,
I'm gonna buy him a toy;
When I get home,
he's gonna jump for joy...
But right now, right right now,
right now I am a-roaming.

When I get home,
I'm gonna unpack my bags;
When I get home,
I'm gonna wash these dirty rags;
When I get home,
I'm gonna pack 'em up again
and I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna go,
I'm gonna go right back a'roaming.
