My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle

But I learned how to roll along

My papa said "son, gotta git some fun,

Cos when your old it ain't too good on your own"

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



So I'm comin' home

To give you more than you bargained for

Comin' home

No mistake I'm gonna shiver 'n' shake

Comin' home

Gonna rock 'n' roll an' 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 you feel

Now that we're back together

Gonna shiver 'n' shake all night

I just gotta say the music I play

Will sure enough make you feel alright



Tho I learned how to rock in the cradle

An' rollin' came so easy to me

All the years I travelled the world

Made it so clear to see

It's been so long since you heard my song

Gonna pick up my guitar 'n' 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 baragained for

Comin' home

No mistake I'm gonna shiver and shake

Comin' home

Gonna rock 'n' roll and give you my soul

Comin' home

I got over the pain I'm comin' home again

Comin' home

Shiver 'n' shakin' anticpatin'

Comin' home

The thrill is gone but it won't be for long
