I'm sittin' in the railway station, got a ticket for my
destination
On a tour of one-night-stands, my suitcase and guitar
at 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 thoughts escape, at home, where my
music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Every day's an endless dream 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 thoughts escape, at home, where my
music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Tonight I'll sing my songs again, I'll play the game
and pretend
But all my words come back to me, in shades of
mediocrity
Like emptiness and harmony, I need someone to comfort
me
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escape, at home, where my
music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Homeward bound, I wish I was homeward bound
Home, where my thoughts escape, at home, where my
music's playin'
Home, where my love lies waitin' silently for me
Silently for me
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome and leave your boy so far
from home
Mama don't take my Kodachrome away
Mama don't take my Kodachrome, whew whew, mama don't
take my Kodachrome away
