Homeward Bound

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
