Lyrics:

My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
I learned how to roll along
My papa said 'Son, gotta get some fun
Cos when you're old it ain't too good on your own'

Oh, been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
I felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

(Comin' home)
To give you more than you bargained for
(Comin' home)
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
(Comin' home)
Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul
(Comin' home)
I got over the pain—I'm comin' home again

Groovin to American Bandstand
B.B. onstage with 'Lucille'
The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
Cos you know I like to play how I feel

Been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
I felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

(Comin' home)
To give you more than you bargained for
(Comin' home)
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
(Comin' home)
Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul
(Comin' home)
I got over the pain—I'm comin' home again

Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
And rollin' came so easy to me
All the years I travelled the world
Made it all so clear to see

Oh, been so long since you heard my song
Gonna pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that I'd be back some day

(Comin' home)
To give you more than you bargained for
(Comin' home)
No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake
(Comin' home)
Gonna rock and roll and give you my soul
(Comin' home)
I got over the pain—I'm comin' home again
