When I get home, I'm gunna clean up my house
  When I get home, I'm gunna kick out that mouse
  When I get home, I'm gunna put things in order
  but right now, right right now, right now I'm a-roaming
    When I get home, I'm gunna make that call
  When I get home, I'm gunna talk it through
  When I get home, I'm gunna straighten it out
  but right now, right now, right now I'm a-roaming
    When I get home, I'm gunna give up the booze
  When I get home, I'm gunna get me some food
  When I get home, I'm gunna quit them drugs
  but right now, right now, right now I'm a-roaming
    When I get home, I'm gunna call my mother
  When I get home, I'm gunna cook her some dinner
  When I get home, I'm gunna invite my brothers
  but right now, right right now, right now I'm a-roaming
    When I get home, I'm gunna see my little boy
  When I get home, I'm buy him a little toy
  When I get home, he's gunna jump for joy
  but right now, right right now, right now I'm a-roaming
    When I get home, I'm gunna unpack my bags
  When I get home, I'm gunna waash these dirty rags
  When I get home, I'm gunna pack 'em up again
  but I'm gunna go, I'm gunna go, I'm gunna go right back roaming.
