It's been many a mile that I've roamed
and now I think I'm coming home
If a train she run far
I'll be back with the morning star
Back to the place where I was born
Back to the place where I was born
I know love doesn't mean a man belongs
But I always knew my rights from my wrongs
I thought you loved me best
And I guess you know the rest
And all the reasons why I'm gone
And all the reasons why I'm gone
Now I ain't saying you are to blame
I'll forget you on that evening train
Though my love for you was true
I was born with a boot of blue
And I'll ride them rails back from where I came
And I'll ride them rails back from where I came
I've kept traveling from place to place
And I know I'm still looking for your face
I once knew where I was bound
A true love I never found
I guess my life has only been a waste
I guess my life has only been a waste
It's been many a mile that I've roamed
and now I think I'm coming home
If a train she run far
I'll be back with the morning star
Back to the place where I was born
Back to the place where I was born
