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. ---

Well, I pulled out of Pittsburgh, Rollin’ down the Eastern Seaboard. I’ve got my diesel wound up, And she’s running like never before.
