[Verse 1]
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
Every stop is neatly planned
For a poet and a one man band

[Chorus]
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me

[Verse 2]
Every day's an endless stream
Of cigarettes and magazines
Each town looks the same to me
The movies and the factories
Every stranger's facе I see
Reminds me that I long to be

[Chorus]
Homеward bound
And I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Homeward bound
I wish I was
Homeward bound
Home, where my thought's escapin'
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me

[Dobro Solo]

[Outro]
Home, where my thought's escapin'
Home, where my music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin'
Silently for me
