Sorry baby, I can't take it all
Do you wanna go?
Got home again, honey
And I'm leaving on the midnight train, yeah
Do you wanna go?
Yes I'm goin' to my hometown
I packed up my bag, I headed down the road
Yeah, goin' to my hometown
I have to walk
Good God I can't afford two
Don't even have nothin' to eat, oh yeah
Only got one ticket
Get a job, son
Yeah, I'm goin' to my hometown
The day I left, I had shoes upon my feet
Goin' to my hometown
Goin' to my hometown
Now let me tell you, now let me tell you
I got me a job from Henry Ford
Hey, goin' to my hometown, yeah
Goe back to from where I came
The day I left, I had shoes upon my feet
The cats and strangers walkin'
Do you wanna go?
Do you wanna go?
And I don't care, have to walk
I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue
No more time to talk, no, no, no
Gotta keep on ramblin', yeah
Now let me tell you, now let me tell you
I'm getting lonesome, I'm getting blue
Goin' to my hometown
I got up against this
Yeah, and I don't care, have to walk
But I made a mistake, I moved much too far
I'm leaving on the midnight train
I'm goin to my hometown
Sorry baby, I can't take it all
Goin' to my hometown, baby
I need someone to talk to
Well, I'm goin to my hometown
Now let me tell you where I'm going to
And now I know what the lonesome blues are
I gotta move down, baby
You know you ought to try
