I want to sit at home in my rockin' chair
I don't want to travel the world
As far as I'm concerned I've had my share
But time's more precious than gold
I don't wanna see another airplane seat
Or another hotel room
The home life to me seems really neat
I just wanna unpack for good

But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Homeward bound
But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Ah, homeward bound

Well, it all seems the same when you've done it before
There's no difference in the style
There's no end in sight or my own front door
I'll be a stay at home for awhile
So I'll have another drink and a cigarette
Just to console myself some how
It's not too bad if you can forget
I just got to find a way somehow

But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Homeward bound
But buy me a ticket homeward bound
Ah, homeward bound

Buy me a ticket homeward bound
Homeward bound

    My Interpretation
    It's told from the perspective of someone aging, who once had a life of excitement, but who now longs to stop stretching themself so thin and just go back home and enjoy themselves.
