Goin' Home

I'll ride the train out of here tomorrow and these years I've paid for what I've done

I'll say goodbye to these old walls around me

I'm goin' home tomorrow goin' home to see my son

Every day I prayed for my forgiveness and I can tell my soul's been won

Now I can hardly wait for the sunrise

Cause tomorrow I'm goin' home and see my son

Now he was just a little boy when they took me away

And with his mother gone I left him for my mama to raise

Now he knows that I love him and I tell anyone

I'm goin' home tomorrow and see my son

The train is pullin' in now and there stands dear gray haired mom

But there must be somethin' wrong cause I don't see my son

Mama said son I should have written but I knew you will comin' home

I tried to raise him right but the boy just turned wrong

Now I can still see the flowers down by that old oak tree

And it looks like there's room beside him just enough room for me
