[Verse 1]
I wanna sit at home in my rocking chair
I don't wanna travel the world
As far as I'm concerned I've had my share
But time's more precious than gold
I don't wanna see another aeroplane seat
Or another hotel room
The home life to me seems really neat
I just wanna unpack for good

[Chorus]
Buy me a ticket homeward bound, homeward bound
Buy me a ticket homeward bound
Oh, homeward bound

[Verse 2]
Well, it all seems the same when you've done it before
There's no difference in the style
There's no end in sight or my own front door
I'll be a stay-at-home for awhile
So I'll have another drink and a cigarette
Just to console myself somehow
It's not too bad if you can forget
I've just gotta find a way somehow

[Chorus]
Buy me a ticket homeward bound, homeward bound
Buy me a ticket homeward bound, homeward bound
Buy me a ticket homeward bound, homeward bound
