Caravan

A slow train is coming up 'round the bend
A caravan to take me home
I left all my luggage back at the pen
Old friends grumble and groan

They said "where are you goin'?
Have you lost your mind?
The train's goin' nowhere
You're wasting your time
Stay, take some women
Stay, drink some wine"
But they ain't got nothing
Nothing
Nothing on you

I look 'round the station
Passengers, few
Leaving that old self behind
Along comes a stranger
In red leather shoes
A figure of sumptuous style

He said, "Son, where ya headin'?"
Have you lost your mind?
The train ain't-a-comin'
You're wasting your time
Stay, take some money
Stay, take a bribe"
But he ain't got nothing
Nothing
Nothing on you

I've got my ticket in hand
Heart, mind, and soul
Home calls to a penitent man
(Home Calls)
The self-righteous roam

A slow train has come in up 'round the bend
A caravan carries me home
