skybluesky Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 I'm looking for songs about being away from home, songs about coming home or wanting to come home. So far I have-- Homeward Bound-Simon & Garfunkel I'm Your Captain-Grand Funk Railroad Baby Please Come Home for Christmas-The Eagles They don't have to be Christmas songs, or not Christmas songs, just songs about being away from home.

Blue Fish Posted November 30, 2006 Report Share Posted November 30, 2006 uh, that song by Beach Boys?: The Sloop John B. We sailed on the sloop John B. My grandfather and me. Round Nassau town we did roam. Drinkin' all night we got in a fight I feel so breack-up I want to go home. So hoist up the John B. sails see how the mains'l's set send for the captain ashore let me go home! Let me go home! Let me go home! I feel so break up I want to go home! The first mate he got drunk Break up the people's trunk Constable come aboard and take him away Mr. Johnstone please let me alone I feel so break up I want to go home! So hoist up the John B. sails see how the mains'l's set send for the captain ashore let me go home! Let me go home! Let me go home! I feel so break up I want to go home! The poor cook he got fits Throw 'way all the girls Then he took and eat up all o' my corn Let me go home I want to go home! This is the worst trip since I been born! So hoist up the John B. sails ...
