I've just had a quick listen and I think you've mostly got it right. The missing bits you have are:

v3 line2:

Say that you ever been down you might know just how I feel

v5: I don't think there's anything between I'm and leaving (but I'll probably want to listen to this again).

I'm also not sure about train at the end of the lines in v1 and v4. It might be, but he pronounces train quite clearly elsewhere; it may just be an end of line thing, but I'd want to listen to that again.

There are a few very minor changes elsewhere, but I haven't time to list them at the moment. I'll come back to this later.
