Lyrics for Right Now Iā€™m Aā€Roaming

When I get home, I'm gunna clean up my house When I get home, I'm gunna kick out that mouse When I get home, I'm gunna put things in order But right now, right right now, right now I'm a-roaming When I get home, I'm gunna make that call When I get home, I'm gunna talk it through When I get home, I'm gunna straighten it out But right now, right now, right now I'm a-roaming When I get home, I'm gunna give up the booze When I get home, I'm gunna get me some food When I get home, I'm gunna quit them drugs But right now, right now, right now I'm a-roaming When I get home, I'm gunna call my mother When I get home, I'm gunna cook her some dinner When I get home, I'm gunna invite my brothers But right now, right right now, right now I'm a-roaming When I get home, I'm gunna see my little boy When I get home, I'm buy him a little toy When I get home, he's gunna jump for joy But right now, right right now, right now I'm a-roaming When I get home, I'm gunna unpack my bags When I get home, I'm gunna waash these dirty rags When I get home, I'm gunna pack 'em up again But I'm gunna go, I'm gunna go, I'm gunna go right back roaming.
