lyrics

last night's dinner is still sitting on the porch
and the people that I came with are all passed out on this floor
and everyone's a-running just to see what went down
and I'm homeward bound
I'm homeward bound
Yeah I'm homeward bound

and I have walked through every street
like chemotherapy running through your bones
yeah I have walked through every street
ambulance poetry, they're cutting through my clothes

and I went out walking just to see what I could find
they told me that hatred looks in all directions
but only my love was blind
and everyone's out shuffling, just to see what might be around

and I'm homeward bound
I'm homeward bound
Yeah I'm homeward bound

well Jonah came from the belly of the beast
said yeah we're gonna party when we get back east
yeah we started singing, started dancing
started drinking bottles of wine in the garden of eden
yeah thats how it was
yeah thats how it was

and I have walked through every street
like chemotherapy used to run in your bones
