When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home, home home
'n 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 now
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 with 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
Solo
I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
I'm heading home (here i come)
To be with my baby (here i come)
Where I belong (where i belong)
Coming down the tracks now (down the tracks)
See, I done my time (my time)
I'm going back now (gooing back)
To that home of mine (and she'll be mine)
Well, here I come baby (here I come)
here I come baby (baby, 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
