Pay the Check and Take Me Home (2025 original)

We’ve got our good and valid reasons For sometimes bein’ on the road But all this waitin’ on the seasons Leaves an ache deep in my soul I’ve been checkin’ your flight status And waitin’ for you to get home So we can spend some time together I need to see you and feel close I don’t care about your next trip ‘Cause tonight I’m not alone This glass of wine has got one last sip Pay the check and take me home Take me home Ta-ay-ay-ay-ke me home Come on now, take me home I need to go there It’s been so long Absence makes the heart grow fonder And our reunions taste so sweet Survived those lonely nights without you Knowin’ you’d come back to me Now wrap your lovin’ arms around me Hold me tight and don’t let go Unaware of my surroundin’s I’ll find the peace that makes me whole So I don’t care about your next trip ‘Cause tonight I’m not alone This glass of wine has got one last sip Pay the check and take me home Pay the check and take me home Just pay the check and take me home
