Goin' Home

Wore out the souls on both my shoes
Up and down the streets of this old town
Bought a paper yesterday for my last dime
Not for the news you see
Just something to cover me

I'm going home again
Said I ain't been back since I don't know when
Train or a plane or a car is gonna carry me there

I'm going home again
I'm gonna hitch my back to an eastern wind
Let the summer breezes carry me there
Going home

These city streets are cold and grey
I feel the rain inside my bones
It's been so very long that I've been gone
The only smiles I see are the ones that laugh at me

I'm going home again
Said I ain't been back since I don't know when
Train or a plane or a car is gonna carry me there

I'm going home again
I'm gonna hitch my back to an eastern wind
Let the summer breezes carry me there
Going home

These city streets are cold and grey
Seems I've been walking all my time
City of bright light seem much dimmer now
The lights I longed to see are the light that are home to me

I'm going home again
Said I ain't been back since I don't know when
Train or a plane or a car is gonna carry me there

I'm going home again
I'm gonna hitch my back to an eastern wind
Let the summer breezes carry me there
Going home

I'm going home again
Said I ain't been back since I don't know when
Train or a plane or a car is gonna carry me there

I'm going home again
I'm gonna hitch my back to an eastern wind
Let the summer breezes carry me there
Going home
