Done laid around, done stayed around
This old town too long
Summer's almost gone, summer's almost gone
Done laid around, done stayed around
This old town too long
And I feel like I want to travel on
 
There's a lonesome freight at six-o-eight
Comin' through the town
I'll be homeward bound, I'll be homeward bound
A lonesome freight at six-o-eight
Comin' through the town
And I feel like I want to travel on
 
The chilly wind will soon begin
I'll be on my way
Gone a lonesome day, goin' home to stay
The chilly wind will soon begin
I'll be on my way
And I feel like I want to travel on
 
I've waited here for most a year
waiting for the sun to shine
waiting for the sun to shine, hopin' you change your mind
I've waited here for most a year
Hopin' you change your mind
Now I feel like I want to travel on
