ATF: Headin' Home

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Homeward Bound

Simon & Garfunkel

I'm sittin' in the railway station

Got a ticket for my destination

Hmm hmm

On a tour of one-night stands

My suitcase and guitar in hand

And every stop is neatly planned

For a poet and one-man band

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home

Where my thoughts are escapin’

Home

Where my music's playin’

Home

Where my love lies waitin’

Silently for me

Every day's an endless stream

Of cigarettes and magazines

Hmm hmm

And each town looks the same to me

The movies and the factories

And every stranger's face I see

Reminds me that I long to be

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home

Where my thoughts are escapin’

Home

Where my music's playin’

Home

Where my love lies waitin’

Silently for me

Tonight I'll sing my songs again

I'll play the game and pretend

Hmm hmm

But all my words come back to me

In shades of mediocrity

Like emptiness in harmony

I need someone to comfort me

Homeward bound

I wish I was

Homeward bound

Home

Where my thoughts are escapin’

Home

Where my music's playin’

Home

Where my love lies waitin’

Silently for me

Silently for me

Mama, I’m Coming Home

Ozzy Osbourne

Times have changed

And times are strange

Here I come

But I ain’t the same

Mama

I'm comin' home

Times go by

It seems to be

You could have been

A better friend to me

Mama

I'm comin' home

You took me in

And you drove me out

Yeah you had me hypnotized

Yeah

Lost and found

And turned around

By the fire in your eyes

You made me cry

You told me lies

But I can't stand to say goodbye

Mama

I'm comin' home

I could be right

I could be wrong

It hurts so bad

It's been so long

Mama

I'm comin' home

Selfish love

Yeah we’re both alone

The ride before the fall

Yeah

But I'm gonna take this heart of stone

I just got to have it all

I've seen your face

A hundred times

Every day we've been apart

And I don't care about the sunshine

Yeah

‘Cause mama

Mama

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home

You took me in

And you drove me out

Yeah you had me hypnotized

Yeah

Lost and found

And turned around

By the fire in your eyes

I've seen your face a thousand times

Every day we've been apart

And I don't care about the sunshine

Yeah

‘Cause mama

Mama

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home

I’m comin’ home
