(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
