Lyin' all alone, I’m thinkin'
Starin' at the stars, I wonder
Since I been away, I’m lonely
When I'm gonna go back home?

Walkin' through the world, things happen
Right before your eyes, things happen
Soon enough, you're lost and thinkin'
When I'm gonna go back home?

Oh me, oh my
Time goes slow
Where's it gone to?
I don't know

But maybe times’ll turn, I pray so
Maybe some day I’ll get lucky
Someone's gonna say, "Alright, now
Take a train and go back home
Hop a freight and go back home"

Oh me, oh my
Time goes slow
Where’s it gone to?
I don't know
But maybe times'll turn, I pray so
Maybe some day I'll get lucky
Someone’s gonna say, "Alright, now
Take a train and go back home
Hop a freight and go back home"
