I've been walking these mean streets,
Hard concrete beneath my feet,
Ain't found a friendly face among the crowd,
The city's like a Christmas tree,
A light for every dreamer's dream,
But it seems mine has finally burnt out,
Long Black Train take me home,
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go,
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong,
Long Black Train take me home,
(verse 2)
I should've known I was mistaken,
When I thought that I'd be makin,
Made for myself in babylon,
Though I tried to do my best,
The suits and ties are not impressed,
So with what's left of my pride I'll carry on,
Long Black Train take me home,
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go,
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong,
Long Black Train take me home,
(bridge)
I'm gonna trade my guitar for a ticket,
Then climb aboard and ride you on down the track,
I know I'm licked but it's hard to admit it,
Maybe some day you can bring me back,
Long Black Train take me home,
I've worn out my welcome here it's time to go,
I have to face the music this just ain't where I belong,
Long black train take me home,
Long black train take me home,
