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
