William Bell People Want To Go Home Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There was a time
When nothing held you down
You wanted it all
From the sky to the ground

Now all along
You thought you were free
But that's not the way
It turned out to be

[Chorus]
Cause when you're tired
People wanna go home
When you're lonely
People wanna go home
When you're weary from you heavy load
People everywhere just want to go home

[Verse 2]
I knew a man
He had everything
He conquered the world
He walked with kings
At the end of his journey he was still alone
So he got on that train and went on home

[Chorus]
Cause when you're tired
People want to go home
When you're lonely
People wanna go home
When you're weary from your heavy load
Just get on that train and head on home

[Verse 3]
I've run my race
And I've made my choice
But there're still times
I hear my mother's voice
I never listened but I should have known
It's time to get on that train and head on home

[Chorus]
When you're tired
People want to go home
When you're lonely
Get on that train
Just get on that train
And head on home

When you're tired
Get on that train
When you're lonely
People everywhere
People everywhere just want to go home
Because when you're tired
People want to go home
