Wayne Mills Homeward Bound Lyrics

A lifetime of worries
With the world on his back
Somehow he managed
To keep his sanity intact
Stand one step ahead of the troubles
That he left behind
He rambled away his last day
At least for a while

CHORUS
Homeward bound been a long time comin'
Peace of mind, so tired of runnin'
No explanations about what he had to prove
Just a family that love him
They're so glad it's through
Homeward bound long time comin'
Peace of mind, so tired of runnin'

On the bank of the river
He planted his last seed
But the pressures of life
Broke the levy and swept him out to sea
He drifted the tides to a place
That he longed to go
A place where the angels and the devil
Fight for your soul

CHORUS
Homeward bound been a long time comin'
Peace of mind, so tired of runnin'
He's got a family waitin' for him at the gates
With calloused hands he reached out
And touched his mama's face
Homeward bound been a long time comin'
Peace of mind, he's through runnin'
