Rock Me At Home - Nils Lofgren

I sent the wife a postcard yesterday

Said everything’s going just right

I ran down my sightseeing day

But I had to forget last night

The picture said I’d be home soon

Knowing I’d be happy, fogged in for life

And sure enough when I landed

It might as well have been a world title fight

She was screaming: «Rock me at home, rock me at home

Or leave it alone»

«Well I’m through pretending I’m your puppet

You’d crack if you felt this alone

Your life is one big tour of the world

Why don’t you rock me at home.»

«Rock me at home, or leave it alone»

She said: «Don't you dare deceive me

Stop coming home all rocket out

You better be starving for my love

I want you to make me squirm and shout»

Even if I’m plain dead tired

I can act as if I’d been alone

But it’s hard to be alone

Sometimes it makes me want to

Rock her at home
