Lyrics
Came home late yesterday evening
Feeling mellow as can be
Lord, I just could not believe it
What my lady said to me
Said she wasn't seeing enough of me
Keep the home fires burning, burning
She said, "Baby, I can't take it
You stay gone away so long
You've become a total stranger
In what's supposed to be your home"
Said she was tired of being here alone
She said, "You gotta keep the home fires burning, baby
Keep it burning, baby
Don't let the flame get too low
If you don't keep taking care of business
You ain't gonna be sleeping here no more," oh
Keep the home fires burning, burning
I think I finally learned my lesson
No deposit, no return
I can't treat her like she's a possession
Without the fuel the fire won't burn
Without the fuel the fire won't burn
She said, "You gotta keep the home fires burning, baby
Keep it burning, baby
Don't let the flame get too low
If you don't keep taking care of business
You ain't gonna be sleeping here no more," oh
I got to keep the home fires burning, burning
Oh, I got to, I got to keep the home fires burning, burning
Ooh-ooh, keep the home fires burning, burning
