(Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong) I dreamed that I heard mama calling for me And I walked out with a cold sweat on my face Now the job that I left home to take and all my plans will have to wait Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong Yes tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong I'll have to hop a freight then I'll be gone I'll have to be without my pay I just can't wait another day Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong The leaves have fallen twice now since I've been home Guess I should've written to let them know where I'd gone Now the cold rain started falling and something keeps calling Yes tonight I'm going home cause I know something's wrong I'm running down the road I used to live on I see a crowd they get round our door For the first time I see my daddy cry kneeling there by mama's side Tonight I'm here at home cause something's wrong Tonight I'm here at home but mama's gone
