Lyrics[]
Red wine on the table, drippin' candle wax
Listenin' to angels from among the record scratch
Bet you're down at Layla's, smokin' at the bar
Hope nobody's on the road when you get in your car
Ooh, are you coming home tonight?
Should I turn off the light or burn down your house?
Ooh, are you coming home tonight?
It's getting awfully quiet in the south
And you don't know anybody in your way out in the wood
Things don't always turn out like I want or thought they should
But I'm no stranger to a disappointing end
I'm not trying to sound bitter like the fruit that you're drinking
Ooh, are you coming home tonight?
Should I turn off the light or burn down our house?
Ooh, are you coming home tonight?
It's getting awfully quiet in the south
I guess I'm just stuck in, that's what happens when
Someone or another's 'bout to do dumb shit again
These rocks aren't skipping like my heart still beats for you
Guess what I call love, that's why they call me crazy cool
Feet up on the back porch, the wind's blowing through
I'm staring at the propane like, what's a girl to do?
Are you coming home tonight?
Should I turn on the light or burn down the house?
Ooh, are you coming home tonight?
It's getting awfully quiet in the south
