"Carry Me Home" is a song by Australian hard rock band AC/DC. It is the b-side to the song "Dog Eat Dog" and was recorded during the sessions for Let There Be Rock and released around the same time as the album. This track has never surfaced on any official album and can only be found on that single. This classifies it as a rare track to many fans. It is available, however, on many bootlegs.

The song was written by Angus Young, Malcolm Young, and Bon Scott. The character Scott's lyrics portray goes out drinking with a woman, and he is amazed at her ability to handle her liquor. In the chorus Scott's character, too drunk to move on his own, begs the woman to carry him home.

The final verse of the song is eerily prophetic: Scott's character worries that he might be left alone to "drown" in liquor. On 19 February 1980, Scott passed out after a night of heavy drinking and was left alone in a friend's car, where he fatally choked on his own vomit.
