Happy Sound Of The Homeward Bound (Larry W. Jones 02/20/2008) (song#5301)

Well, I’ve been up north where the snow falls down
And the sun, it don’t hardly ever shine
So, I’m ridin’ the rails now, homeward bound
Down to Dixieland for to ease my mind
Down to Dixieland for to ease my mind

Some folks are bad but most are good
Most everywhere that this old train track goes
I belong where it’s understood
That love grows stronger than a river flows

Like the Mississippi runs from the melting snow
Dixieland sons know where their home is found
They’re the ones who run away from the cold and woe
With the happy sound of the homeward bound
With the happy sound of the homeward bound

– instrumental –

Well, the happy sound of the homeward bound
Is the click and the clack of railroad steel
Not a happier man could there be found
None could feel better than the way I feel
None could feel better than the way I feel

Like the Mississippi runs from the melting snow
Dixieland sons know where their home is found
They’re the ones who run away from the cold and woe
With the happy sound of the homeward bound
With the happy sound of the homeward bound
