John Parr Comin' Home
Headin' down this iron road
These six strings on my back
Must be twenty years or more
Since this train roared down the track
Sometimes I hear the whistle blowin'
Conductor shoutin' all aboard
But I'm rustin' in the stockyard
Said that's all I was good for
I dream I'm heading down this iron road
I dream I'm heading back
I'm building up a head of steam
And I'm burnin' up the track
I see her wavin' from her window
I'm smiling... wavin' back
I don't feel so alone
I'm comin' home
And it feels like the first time
I'm comin' home
Comin' home for the last time
Stokin' up the embers
I can see the fire rise
Every flame burnin'
Lightin' memories in her eyes
All I'm asking from you is a second chance
I'm comin' home
And it feels like the first time
I'm comin' home
See the world in a new light
I'm comin' home
See the world in a new light
I'm comin' home
