Got a ticket for my destination
On a tour of 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 in
Home where my music's playin'
Home where my love life's waitin'
Every day is an endless dream
of ci garettes and magazines
The movies and the factories
And every stranger's face I see
I wish I was Homeward bound
Home, where my music's playing
Home, where my love life's waiting
Tonight I'll sing my songs again
I'll play the game and I'll pretend
But all my words come back to me
Like emptiness in harmony
I need someone to comfort me
Home, where my thoughts escape me
Home, where my mu sic's playing
Home, where my love life's waiting
