Wish I Hadn't Stayed Away So Long

I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
And I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
My mother died when I was on the road
My mother died when I was on the road
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
My mother died when I was on the road
(I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long)
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
And I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I got home too late to say goodbye
I got home too late to say goodbye
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
I got home too late to say goodbye
And I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I can’t count the times I stole away and cried
I can’t count the times I stole away and cried
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
I can’t count the times I stole away and cried
And I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
And I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
Bell rang on the midnight train
Carrying a hobo’s home
I wish I hadn’t stayed away so long
