It's going to be a great night.
Sitting in a railway station,
got a ticket for my destination.
On a tour, one night stands
my suitcase and guitar in hand
And every stop is neatly planned
for a poet and a one -man band
I wish I was Homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escape and home,
Home, where my love lies waiting
And every day's an endless stream
of cigarettes and magazines
And each town looks the same to me,
the movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
reminds me that I long to be
I wish I was Homeward bound
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
Yeah, tonight I'll sing my
I'll play the game and pretend
All my words come back to me
Like emptiness and harmony
I need someone to comfort me
I wish I was Homeward bound
where my thoughts es cape and
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love lies waiting
