«I Left Something Turned On at Home» is a song written by Billy Lawson and John Schweers and recorded by American country music singer Trace Adkins. It was released in April 1997 as the fourth and final single from his debut album Dreamin’ Out Loud. The song became his third Top 10 hit on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) chart by reaching number 2 for two weeks, only behind «Carrying Your Love with Me» by George Strait. It also became his first number 1 single on the Canadian RPM country chart.
The song is up-tempo accompanied largely by electric guitar. It is based on a double entendre. The male narrator is at a bar, telling his companions that he has to leave because he «left something turned on at home». He then explains in the chorus that what he left «turned on» was not an appliance, but rather his sexually aroused female partner.

Trace Adkins – I Left Something Turned On At Home Lyrics
Well boys I hate to leave good company
But my baby just called me on the phone
And from the sound of her voice, I simply have no choice
I left something turned on at home
Well I just put a quarter in the jukebox
And it ain’t halfway through my favorite song
But if I don’t leave right now my whole place might burn down
‘Cause I left something turned on at home
It ain’t the stove, it ain’t the heater
She’s hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she’s been there alone
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin`
‘Cause I left something turned on at home
Hey waitress could you cancel that order
But if its too late I’ll take it to go
Boys I gotta run ‘fore somebody calls 911
‘Cause I left something turned on at home
It ain’t the stove, it ain’t the heater
She’s hotter and a whole lot sweeter
And all day long she’s been there alone
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin`
‘Cause I left something turned on at home
Right now her arms are open, the house is probably smokin`
‘Cause I left something turned on at home
Yeah I left something turned on at home
