When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
He took me from my home, home, 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 now
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train
It's been a millions years
That I've been gone
I've 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 that homebound train
Oh, boy
I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I've 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, baby, baby, baby, ah
All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
Yes I am
On that homebound train
I'll come baby
