When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So dont talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you cant dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary

Im going down down down down down
On the homebound train

Its been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere now Im heading home
Been a lot of girls but
Theres a woman I know
Said dont take no plane
Better take a train
Cause I like it real slow

All the way back home
On the homebound train
Im going down down down down down
On the homebound train

[Solo]

Im on my way
Im heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See I done my time
Im 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
Im going down down down down down
On that homebound train
