Take me home

I've been traveling for so long, 

walking my way through the plains, 

fighting storms, battling rains, 

getting back to where I belong.

The railroad should take me home.

At least that's what I was told. 

I wouldn't know wherelse to go 

without the train's track below.

Having survived hunger and strife, 

wondering if I've followed the right track

for I should have already come back 

to my kids, my dog and my wife.

My heart will stay so heavily bleached, 

as long, my home, I haven't reached.

Sill I see my loved ones past this lane? 

Or will I forever walk this railroad again?
