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'm 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'm a-roaming

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

When I get home, I'm gonna see my little boy
When I get home, I'm buy him a little toy
When I get home, he's gonna jump for joy
but right now, right right now, right now I'm 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
but I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go right back roaming.
