From "Saturday Night Live", first aired 20 November 1976 in the US

|
I'M SITTIN' IN THE RAILWAY STATION,
|
GOT A TICKET FOR MY DESTINATION, MM-MM.
|
ON A TOUR OF ONE NIGHT STANDS,
|
MY SUITCASE AND GUITAR IN HAND
|
AND EV'RY STOP IS NEATLY PLANNED
|
FOR A POET AND A ONE MAN BAND.
|
|
HOMEWARD BOUND, I WISH I WAS,
|
HOMEWARD BOUND.
|
HOME WERE MY THOUGHT'S ESCAPING,
|
HOME WHERE MY MUSIC'S PLAYING,
|
HOME WHERE MY LOVE LIES WAITING SILENTY FOR ME.
|
|
EV'RY DAY'S AN ENDLESS STREAM
|
OF CIGARETTES AND MAGAZINES, UH-HMM-HMM.
|
AND EACH TOWN LOOKS THE SAME TO ME,
|
THE MOVIES AND THE FACTORIES
|
AND EV'RY STRANGER'S FACE I SEE
|
REMINDS ME THAT I LONG TO BE,
|
|
HOMEWARD BOUND, I WISH I WAS,
|
HOMEWARD BOUND.
|
HOME WERE MY THOUGHT'S ESCAPING,
|
HOME WHERE MY MUSIC'S PLAYING,
|
HOME WHERE MY LOVE LIES WAITING SILENTY FOR ME.
|
|
TONIGHT I'LL SING MY SONGS AGAIN,
|
AND I'LL PLAY THE GAME AND PRETEND, MM-MM.
|
BUT ALL MY WORDS COME BACK TO ME
|
IN SHADES OF MEDIOCRITY
|
LIKE EMPTINESS IN HARMONY
|
I NEED SOMEONE TO COMFORT ME.
|
|
HOMEWARD BOUND, I WISH I WAS,
|
HOMEWARD BOUND.
|
HOME WERE MY THOUGHT'S ESCAPING,
|
HOME WHERE MY MUSIC'S PLAYING,
|
HOME WHERE MY LOVE LIES WAITING SILENTY FOR ME,
|
SILENTLY FOR ME.
