Homebound Train

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 that homebound train

 It's been a million 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 place,

 Better take a train

 'cause I like it real slow

 All the way back home

 On that homebound train

 I'm going down, down, down, down, down

 On that homebound train

 I'm on my way

 I'm heading home

 To be with my baby

 Where I belong

 Coming down the tracks

 See, I done my time

 I'm going back

 To that home of mine

 Well, here I come baby

 Here I come baby
