I'm sitting down here by the southbound train
To hitch a ride home back to you
I see a man he's got a lonely face
Said, "Son, where you heading to?"
I'm heading past the water on a southbound train
Back to see my baby and to call her name
I know I've been gone, but now, baby, I'm coming home
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I know I've been gone, but now, baby, I'm coming home
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I see the bees, and they're just buzzing by
Like they haven't got a clue
They got honey hidden in their hives, well
They got nothing sweet as you
I can almost hear you calling in the afternoon
You don't have to worry 'cause I'll be there soon
I know I've been gone, but now, baby, I'm coming home
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I know I've been gone, but now, baby, I'm coming home
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I knew better than to do you wrong
'Cause, baby, you've never done me
Ain't no weather that can hold me back
Hold me back from holding you
I know you knew I would be true
I know I've been gone, but now, baby, I'm coming home
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
I know I've been gone, but now, baby, I'm coming home
Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm
Coming home, coming home
Coming home, coming home
Coming home, coming home
