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 rosaryI'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound trainIt'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 trainSoloI'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 babyHere 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
