Thousand Miles To Home (Larry W. Jones 08/04/2007) (song#4797) Well, here I am walking along the track Thinking of writing another letter home To tell my folks that I’ll be coming back Cause I’ve run out of places I want to roam When I hear that home bound train in the night A ticket to home will ease the pain and the fright It’s a thousand miles to where I’m goin’ And I know that a thousand smiles will be showin’ When I ride that train a thousand miles home – instrumental – I’ll have to pawn my guitar and rings Because I’ve already pawned my dreams Gonna go through the third class ticket turnstile And watch the countryside pass a thousand miles Well, one thing for sure I know No more am I gonna roam I’m gonna live my life poor but slow In a thousand miles when I get home I know when I hear that home bound train in the night A ticket to home will ease the pain and the fright It’s a long old thousand miles to where I’m goin’ And I know a thousand smiles will be showin’ When I ride that train a thousand miles to home Kingwood Kowboy
