Lyrics

Goodbye July my work here's thru'
And I'll be countin' the days when I''ll be comin' home to you
When my mission here is done
Full speed, under a burning sun

(I'll be) Drivn' thru' those hot hot August days
To get home to a hot hot August night
This time I'll be comin' home to stay
Comin home to kiss and hold you tight

And we'll be makin' love.....
On a hot hot August night

This separation's killin' me
But it's nearly done and I've provided for my family
It's been oh, such a long long while
Since I last held you hand in mine

(I'll be) Drivn' thru' those hot hot August days
To get home to a hot hot August night
This time I'll be comin' home to stay
Comin home to kiss and hold you tight

I've travelled far and wide to bring the buck back home to you
But all the money in the world can't buy me the best of life with you

inst

(I'll be) Drivn' thru' those hot hot August days
To get home to a hot hot August night
This time I'll be comin' home to stay
Comin' home to kiss and hold you tight

And we'll be makin' love
On a hot hot August night
