[Verse 1]
Well, the coffee in my hotel ain't as good as yours at home
It's always weak as water and you always made yours strong
And I ain't strong enough to go without your loving for too long
Damn, I miss you

[Verse 2]
Well, you made this boy a promise that you'd never break his heart
And you ain't broke it yet, babe, so I reckon that's a start
The start of my forever and the end of my old life
Oh, I could kiss you

[Chorus]
I love you like I always watched my daddy love my mama
I miss you 'cause you always make me feel the way I wanna
And I don't when I'm not with you
But you know that I'll be home in a day or two
Oh, keep them home fires burning
'Cause, baby, I'm yearning for you

[Verse 3]
Well, I wasted half a decade, that's way too damn much time
I tried with all my might to see the light, but I was blind
Oh, since I met you, baby, my vision is just fine
Dropped a nickel on the pavement, took two steps and found a dime
[Chorus]
And I love you like I always watched my daddy love my mama
I miss you 'cause you always make me feel the way I wanna
And I don't when I'm not with you
But you know that I'll be home in a day or two
Oh, keep them home fires burning
'Cause, baby, I'm yearning for you

[Chorus]
Oh, and I love you like I always watched my daddy love my mama
I miss you 'cause you always make me feel the way I wanna
And I don't when I'm not with you
But you know that I'll be home in a day or two
And I could try to go without you, but you know that I'd be lying
If I said I didn't love you waiting up on me at night
I've been waiting just the same
Let's rekindle that old flame in a day or two
Oh, keep them home fires burning
'Cause, baby, I'm yearning for you
Oh, keep them home fires burning
'Cause, baby, I'm yearning for you
