Down the street, up the drive…
Across the lawn, up the stairs
On the Porch, I'm getting there

It was late when Jimmy arrived home. He lead his horse into the stable and gave it some feed and water before crossing the yard and up the stairs to the back door.

Key in the lock, through the door
Down the hall I've walked so many times before
I'm dog-tired, but I don't care
Bedroom door, I'm getting there
She's got a hundred candles burning
She's got next-to-nothing on, yeah, yeah

When he was away, working as a deputy like he'd been with Sam Cain, who was now the Marshal of Omaha, chasing another gang of desperados, his wife always locked the doors. She didn't feel safe without him in the house she said. Jimmy didn't need to light a candle as he headed down the hall and up the stairs. The last few days without much sleep were finally catching up with him as he reached the bedroom door and opened it. All thought's of sleep were wiped from his mind as his wife stood near the bed, dressed in the thinnest shift he'd ever seen. The candles burning on the dresser behind her made it even more transparent as his eyes took in the curvaceous silhouette of what was hidden beneath.

Chorus:
Baby, I'm home
I've been away way too long
I've been waitin', I've been workin'
Wantin' you so bad it's hurtin'
Now I'm back where I belong
Baby I'm home
My arms around you, your lips to mine
Feel our hearts beat-beatin' in time
Hands in your hair, everywhere
I hear you whisper, I'm getting there
She's got a hundred candles burning
They'll be burning all night long, yeah, yeah

Jimmy laid his guns on the table next to the bed and gathered her in his arms, whispering, "Honey, I'm home...I've been missin' you so much," as his lips claimed hers in what he'd been dreaming about doing all evening long. Hands were shedding clothing as fast as they could until skin touched skin, roaming in all the familiar places. She whispered in his ear driving him to pick her up and lay her on the bed, covering her body with his.

Every night without you, I've been dreamin' 'bout tonight
Missin' everything about you, girl there's no place like...
Baby I'm home
I've been away way to long
Baby I'm home
I've been away way to long

All the pent up desire hastened Jimmy's actions. Loving her was the best thing he'd ever felt and right now, he was feeling pretty darn good. A sigh escaped her lips as they lay in the afterglow making him reach out and pull her closer, murmuring, "Baby, I missed you. I'm glad I'm home..."
