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 a millions 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

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
On that homebound train
