Take Me Home
© 2008 / John Hackett

Verse:
Train whistle in the distant night
And I know I've got to leave
Lusiana callin me
I can hear it on the breeze.
There's a longin' in my heart,
And it burns into my soul.
Got to get back to the ones
I left ten long years ago.

Chorus:
So won't ya take me home mister?
Let me ride beneath your train.
Don't mind lying in the belly of a drag
I just have no way of paying'
These clothes on my back,
Are all I have to my name.
Won't ya take me home mister?
Please let me ride beneath your train.

Verse:
They let me out of prison
Yesterday at dawn
And I'm just trying to get back home,
To my wife and son.
I spent 10 long years in a cold hard cell,
Payin' for the wrong I've done.
I'm just lookin to start a new,
On a straight and narrow run.

Chorus:
Won't ya take me home mister?
Let me ride beneath your train.
I don't mind lying in the belly of a drag,
I just have no way of payin'.
These cloths on my back,
Are all I have to my name.
Won't ya take me home mister?
Let me ride beneath your train.

Bridge:
Ya know it nearly drove me insane
Serving out my time.
When you search your soul day after day,
Ya might not like what ya find
But I found peace, and I found God
And I'm ready to move on.

Chorus:
Won't ya take me home mister?
Let me ride beneath your train
I don't mind riding in the belly of a drag,
I just have no way of payin'.
These clothes on my back.
Are all I have to my name.
Take me home mister
Please let me ride beneath your train.

TAG:

Take me home mister,
Let me ride beneath your train.
