Lyrics:

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
