Back Back Train Lyrics

OK, I'm the biggest Joe Perry fan I know. I don't care if he's old enough to be my father, I am totally in love with him. And his vocals on this song are so amazing. I was parylized when I heard it for the first time. THIS is Joe at his finest. Not only are the vocals outstanding, but the music, the backup vocals...everything about this song makes me fall in love with the album all over again. If only Joe stuck to the lower register on his solo album...sigh...sorry, I'm a pathetic little fangirl. As for the song's meaning, it sounds to me like he's alone and trying to find his place in the world, and really just wants to go home. He sounds sad and lonely (but still extremely sexy). ;)
