Some Go Home

A soldier rides on a train to Tennessee And half asleep he dreams it isn't a dream With each flick of the wheels 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 goin' home Yes, yes, goin' 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 who ever did fall behind And you wanna begin somewhere But you'll always take a chance out there So you go down the line Down the line . . .
