"Homebound Train" adalah sebuah lagu yang dibawakan oleh band rock legendaris Bon Jovi. Lagu ini memiliki lirik yang puitis dan mengisahkan perjalanan seorang pria yang telah merantau jauh dan memutuskan untuk kembali ke rumah setelah bertahun-tahun. Perjalanan pulang tersebut digambarkan sebagai perjalanan dengan kereta api, tempat sang pria merefleksikan masa lalunya yang penuh petualangan dan penyesalan. Ada nada melankolis dalam liriknya, di mana sang pria mengungkapkan kesedihan atas dosa-dosa masa lalunya dan kerinduannya untuk pulang ke orang-orang yang dicintainya.
Homebound Train Lyrics
Bon Jovi
When I was just a boy
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
It's been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm heading home
Been a lot of girls, but
There's a woman I know
Said don't take no plane
Better take a train
Cause I like it real slow
All the way back home
On the homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
[Solo]
I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I done my time
I'm going back now
To that home of mine
Well, here I come baby
Here I come baby
Here I come baby
All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train
The devil took my hand
Took me from my home
He made me a man
So, don't talk to me about sympathy now
Cause you can't dance if you
Take a chance on your rosary
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
It's been a millions years
That I been gone
I been everywhere, now I'm heading home
Been a lot of girls, but
There's a woman I know
Said don't take no plane
Better take a train
Cause I like it real slow
All the way back home
On the homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On the homebound train
[Solo]
I'm on my way
I'm heading home
To be with my baby
Where I belong
Coming down the tracks now
See, I done my time
I'm going back now
To that home of mine
Well, here I come baby
Here I come baby
Here I come baby
All the way back home
On that homebound train
I'm going down, down, down, down, down
On that homebound train
