About Come on In

"Come On In" is a song written by Michael Clark, and recorded by American country music group The Oak Ridge Boys. It was released in December 1978 as the second and final single from their album Room Service. The song spent fifteen weeks on the Hot Country Songs charts between December 1978 and early 1979, peaking at number three. The song was also their last release for ABC Records before the label merged with MCA Records. The song was also covered by Dave & Sugar, who included it on their 1978 Tear Time album (though they changed the title to "Baby, Take Your Coat Off"). It is not to be confused with the band's 1985 single "Come On In (You Did the Best You Could Do)".

When I get tired and a little lonely, the worlds turned its cold back on me 
When I'm about to swear I ain't got a friend left to my name 
Instead of sinking a little lower I start making tracks on over 
To a place where the sun shines day and night and where I know Ill hear you say 

[Chorus:]
Come on in, baby take you coat off, come on in, baby take a load off 
Come on in, baby shake the blues off I'm gonna love that frown away 
Come on in, baby put a smile on, come on in, baby tell me what's wrong 
Come on in, the blues will be long gone I'm gonna love your hurt away 

When I feel a lonesome night coming on, every thing I did all day went wrong 
there's a black cloud following me around and I just can't get away 
Instead of sinking a little lower I start making tracks on over 
To a place where the sun shines day and night and I know Ill hear you say 

[Chorus x2]
