They opened up his cell
As the sky went black
Three years in hell
He took one look back

He shook the warden’s hand
said you won’t see me again
And as he walked outside
he said it’s damn good to breathe again

Then he grabbed his keys
Started up his bike
He never felt so free
Speedin’ off through the night

And the only thought
On his one track mind
Is of his girl back home
And the pain he left behind

[Chorus]
I’m coming home tonight
I’m getting out this place
Its been too damn long
since I’ve seen your face
I’m on the highway now
And I’ll be there soon
So just sit tight baby
I’m coming home to you

Pacing back and forth
She been like this all day
Waiting on the porch
For him to come her way

She headed back inside
That’s when the doorbell rang
But it was not her man
It was his former gang

They kicked in the door
They tied her to the bed
They had a 44 pointed right at her head
Then at every window, they had they men with rifles
Aimed to take a snitches life
upon his arrival

His partners say he rolled
that’s against the code
so let this treacherous motherfuckers blood run cold
Now she’s looking at the sky, knowing time’s run out
Cuz he said that he’d be back when the stars come out

[Chorus]

The time ticked by slowly
She thought her wait was over
She thought he’d be here holding
Her tonight, like a four leaf clover

Then somewhere in the distance
She heard her man’s Harley growl
She knew this was her last chance
She knew she had to act now

She thought of a plan
She knew that the most
she could do was warn him
before he got too close
she looked at her guardsman
she looked at his pistol
had to make a shot ring out like a whistle

She had to save her man
from this cruel demise
so she freed her hands
of her captor’s ties
then her guard made sure that she wouldn’t see the morning
and let off one shot (bang) now he’s got a warning

He held his weapon high
He turned his bike around
He heard a piercing cry
He recognized the sound
And as he rode away
Down the streets of fog
A bullet sealed his fate
He went down like a dog
