Some Go Home
Lyricist:Jerry Jeff Walker
A soldier rides on a train to Tennessee And half asleep he dreams it isn't a dream With each click of the wheels on steel, a new face goes by With each face he loves he turns and sighs
And he's headed home Yes, yes, he's headed home Tryin' to find his life again 'Cause he wonders what's become of him
Three rows back a young woman looks out the train Her eyes reveal that her life is desperately plain She's a woman who's seen this world and not touched one man She knows she could if she would but she can't
And she's headed home, yeah, she's headed home Back where life begins and ends And they feel that you belong to them
That train's just movin' on down the line Leavin' people at every depot behind You wanna begin somewhere But you'll always take a chance out there So you go down the line
I sit half drunk in the dining car and I observe life Got him pegged and I'm pretty sure I got her right When you've been as far as I have you just know these things Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com That's the reason that I sat and drank the drinks
'Cause I've got no home No, no, I need no home Nothing to bring pain again It's great just livin' on the wind
But the woman is met by her husband there at the station And two stops later the soldier's girl is still waitin' I simply accept the fact, they're just lucky, that's all But in fact, I don't believe they pulled it off
And I can't go on, no, no I can't go on Making everything I see Fit the way life was for me
That train's just movin' on down the line Leavin' people at every depot behind And I wanna begin somewhere But for me it's never true out there So I go down the line, Down the line Down the line Go on down the line Go on down the line Down the line Down the line Woah...
