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 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 plane

Better take a train

Cause I like it real slow



All the way back home

On a homebound train

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

On a homebound train



(Solo)



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

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
