I'm Going Back

Standing here listening to a distant train While a plane flies overhead Visions of my hometown running through my head I remember wanting to leave it so bad Went searching for something I already had Last night I looked in the mirror and this is what I said I'm going back I'm going back One of these days someday soon I'm going back home I get a tear in my eye and a lump in my throat Every time I hear that train Moaning in the distance it seems to call my name Someday soon I'll catch the next plane out, My mind's made up beyond a shadow of a doubt I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna break these chains I'm going back (they say you can never go back) I'm going back (oh no, you can never go back) One of these days someday soon I'm going back home There are millions of people in far off places Homesick written across their faces They're looking for something that's real That's the way I feel I miss that hometown feeling I miss the simple joys I miss the emphasis of simplicity And the lack of noise I'm going back (they say you can never go back) I'm going back (oh no, you can never go back) One of these days someday soon I'm going back home
