I'm sittin' in the railway station 
 Got a ticket for my destination, mmm 
 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 

 Homeward Bound 
 I wish I was 
 Homeward Bound 
 Home, where my thought's escaping 
 Home, where my music's playing 
 Home, where my love lies waiting 
 Silently for me 

 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 

 Homeward Bound 
 I wish I was 
 Homeward Bound 
 Home, where my thought's escaping 
 Home, where my music's playing 
 Home, where my love lies waiting 
 Silently for me 

 Tonight I'll sing my songs again 
 I'll play the game and pretend 
 But all my [bad word] back to me 
 In shades of mediocrity 
 Like emptiness in harmony 
 I need someone [bad word] me 

 Homeward Bound 
 I wish I was 
 Homeward Bound 
 Home, where my thought's escaping 
 Home, where my music's playing 
 Home, where my love lies waiting 
 Silently for me 
 Silently for me
