homebound train

when i was just a boy

the devil took my hand

took me from my home

he made me a man

so

don't talk to me about sympathy now

cause you can't dance if you

take a chance on your rosary

i'm going down

down

down

down

down

on the homebound train

it's been a millions years

that i been gone

i been everywhere

now i'm heading home

been a lot of girls

but

there's a woman i know

said don't take no plane

better take a train

cause i like it real slow

all the way back home

on the homebound train

i'm going down

down

down

down

down

on the homebound train

i'm on my way

i'm heading home

to be with my baby

where i belong

coming down the tracks now

see

i done my time

i'm going back now

to that home of mine

well

here i come baby

here i come baby

here i come baby

all the way back home

on that homebound train

i'm going down

down

down

down

down

on that homebound train
