I'm sittin' in the railway station
Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of one-night
Stands my suitcase
And guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and one-man band
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies
Waiting silently for me
Ev'ry day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
And ev'ry stranger's face
I see reminds me that I long to be
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies
Waiting silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and pretend
But all my words come back
To me in shades of mediocrity
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home where my thought's escaping
Home where my music's playing
Home where my love lies
Waiting silently for me
Silently for me
