He’s ticking like an old metronome
He’ll do anything to get her back home
He’s longing to marry her back home
He’s her loyal and true boy back home
He was witty
He was fun
But she told him
He wasn’t the one
He obsessed over it day & night
All he wanted was to make it right
So when you’re talking to her at the bar
And thinking she could be a star
She’ll pick you over with a fine toothed comb
He’s deeply dreaming of her back home
He’s desperately waiting for her back home
He’s her loyal and true boy back home
She’s the girl who he went with to Disneyland
On their last High School Graduation trip
They even had a class together in JC
They both appreciated the companionship
But she got scared so she moved away
Now there’s nothing for him to say
He’s wondering who’s holding her tight
And yeah, he’s probably willing to fight
So when you’re hitting on her in class
And patting her gently on her ass
Know she’ll spill the details to that guy
And your future won’t be easy as pie
He’s ticking like an old metronome
He’ll do anything to get her back home
He’s longing to marry her back home
He’s her loyal and true boy back home
He’s her loyal and true boy back home.

Lyric Notes: So this is a rare thing when I would use a title already used. It happened, I’ll deal with it. The lyric was inspired by a couple of things: Personal experience and a movie called “Forces of Nature.”
