Lyrics

I saw an old man at the break of day Standin' alone in the union yard Railroad track pointed far away Said, "I'm goin' back home Back to the west where I belong" Dirty old pack all covered in patches Fedro tied up with thick wire, poor boy His skin was covered in healin' gashes Said, "I'm goin' back home Back to the west where I belong" He said he'd been trampin' for a long time Sure that his family was all gone, Lord, Lord He'd go home in the meantime He said, "I'm goin' back home Back to the west where I belong" Well, I watched that train blowin' off diesel Piled up slowly at the yard, Lord, Lord Old man grabbed his bag and whistled Said, "I'm goin' back home Back to the west where I belong" Now he hopped that freight like he's a youngster Sloggin' himself up to an old grain car Held out his hand, he pulled me upward Said, "I'm goin' back home Back to the west where I belong" I thought of my family, waited my supper I thought of my girlfriend all alone, poor boy I took his hand and jumped right up there Goin' back home Back to the west where I belong I said, "I'm goin' back home Back to the west where I belong"
