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.
