Where I have been well I don't know
I left long time ago
I've been roaming from town to town
Lonesome for so long
I left the place where I belong
My things had to get on
I walked along the railroad track
Far away from home
I thought my streets were paved with gold
My hands were cracked and soiled
And I worked hard out in the cold
On the winter roar
My comrades were awake at night
They mourned from dusk 'till dawn
They moaned their families around the world
Far away from home
So many years had passed and gone
On the mother's breast of time
I laid my hopes and I sold my soul
Will I finally see the light
Where am I
Forsaken and alone
Above the town the wind still blow
Far away from home
Now that I am tired, Now I am getting old
I wonder if you know
That from this grave, above the hill
Tonight I got your glow
And everytime you'll think of me
You'll hear that whistle blow
I finally found the place of mine
Home away from home
