(Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong)
I dreamed that I heard mama calling for me
And I walked out with a cold sweat on my face

Now the job that I left home to take and all my plans will have to wait
Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong
Yes tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong
I'll have to hop a freight then I'll be gone
I'll have to be without my pay I just can't wait another day
Tonight I'm going home cause something's wrong
The leaves have fallen twice now since I've been home
Guess I should've written to let them know where I'd gone
Now the cold rain started falling and something keeps calling
Yes tonight I'm going home cause I know something's wrong
I'm running down the road I used to live on
I see a crowd they get round our door
For the first time I see my daddy cry kneeling there by mama's side
Tonight I'm here at home cause something's wrong
Tonight I'm here at home but mama's gone
