The die was cast as far back as 1972, with Homeward Bound:
I wanna sit at home
in my rocking chair
I don't wanna travel the world
As far as I'm concerned
I've had my share
Time's more precious than gold
I don't wanna see another
airplane seat
Or another hotel room
Home life to me seems
really neat
I just wanna run back for good
Buy me a ticket homeward bound,
Homeward bound
Buy me a ticket homeward bound,
Homeward bound
Well it all seems the same when
you've done it before
There's no difference in the style
There's no other sight than
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 somehow
It's not too bad if you can forget
I just gotta find a way somehow
Buy me a ticket homeward bound,
Homeward bound
Buy me a ticket homeward bound,
Homeward bound
