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
Solo
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
