Well I don't know where I'm goin'
But I do know where I've been
And I know that where I am just ain' the place
I can hear that whistle blowin'
A callin' me back home
To where I can hear your voice and see your face

I've got a lot of nothin'
To show for where I've been
Got an empty heart and empty pockets too
But they say that you'll have mercy
On a weak ol' boy like me
And I'm hopin' and I'm prayin' that it's true

Been gone so long I don't know the way back home and feelin' blue
Well I reach in my back pocket and much to my surprise
I find a ticket for a train right back to you

Well I seem to have lost sight
Of all that I held dear
Black and white has turned to gray I can't see through
But I know up in my knower
That You are all that matters
That's why I'm puttin' all my hope in you
