The Things I Want I Can’t Get at Home
Baby, I'm gonna start the roam
'Cause the things I want, I can't get at home
I'm gonna leave for fair
'Cause the things I like, ain't in your Frigidaire
I come home hungry
With just one wish
But it seems I can never
Get my favorite dish
So baby, baby, baby
I'm gonna hit the trail
Without the things I like
I'd rather be in jail
I'm gonna start the roam
'Cause the things I want
I can't get at home
I'm gonna start the roam
'Cause the things I want
I can't get at home
The things I want, I can't get at home
