[Verse 1]
So my baby's on the road
Doing business, selling loads
Charming everyone there
With the sweetest smile
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
Could be here with me
But I won't see you
'Til you've made it back again
[Chorus]
Home and dry
Home and dry
[Verse 2]
There's a plane at JFK
To fly you back from far away
All those dark and frantic
Transatlantic miles
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
Could be here with me
But I won't see you
'Til you've made it back again
[Chorus]
Home and dry
Home and dry
Home and dry
Home and dry
[Bridge]
Far away
Through night and day
You fly long haul tonight
Come to me
You know I'll be here
When you call tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh tonight
I miss you
Oh tonight
I wish you
Could be here with me
But I won't see you
'Til you've made it back again
[Chorus]
Home and dry
Home and dry
Home and dry
Home and dry
[Outro]
Your baby waits tonight

It’s an expression which means you’ve successfully completed your objective or project and you can now return to the warmth and comfort of your home. In this case, Tennant is using the phrase to express the longing felt between two lovers in a long distance relationship.
