Lyrics

Hurry Home

Hurry home

Freight train running

I've been gone

Too long, honey

Why did I waste away

The only good thing left to save me

Hurry home

Freight train running

She's alone

Got no money

(She's alone

She got no money

I'm coming home

I've done my running)

I'm coming home

No more running

Why now should I deny

The only true thing left inside me

Coming home

No more running

Well, I'm doing right

For once in my life now

I'm doing right

For once in my life now

No more running (he's doing right)

No more running (he's doing right)

I'm doing right, doing right

No more running (he's doing right)

No more running (he's doing right)

No more running

Rolling countries, fields unfolding

I swear the winds are calling

Rolling countries, fields unfolding

I swear the winds are calling

So I hurry home

No more running

She's all alone

She's got no money

(She's alone

She's got no money

I'm coming home

I've done my running)

Why should I go and hide

The only true thing left inside me

Hurry home

Freight train running

Well, I'm doing right

For once in my life now

I'm doing right

For once in my life now

No more running (he's doing right)

No more running (he's doing right)

I'm doing right, doing right

No more running (he's doing right)

No more running any more (he's doing right)

No more running

No more running (he's doing right)

I'm going home now (he's doing right)

I'm going home

No more running (he's doing right)

(he's doing right)

I'm doing right, I'm doing right (he's doing right)

(He's doing right)

(He's doing right)

No more running (he's doing right)

I'm doing right (he's doing right)

For once in my life

I'm doing right

I'm doing right

I'm doing right
