Gonna Get Back Home Somehow

Rating: 3.9 Stars3.9 Stars3.9 Stars3.9 Stars
Words & Music: Doc Pomus/ Mort Shuman
Hear that old train whistle
howling in the night
If that flyer's southbound
Everything will be all right

I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now,
I'm gonna get back home somehow

Don't nobody tell me
baby's been untrue
If she's been unfaithful
I don't know what I'll do

I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now
I'm gonna get back home somehow

Never thought that I could miss her so
I never thought I could , now I know

The sound of the old train whistle
Makes me want to cry
Reminds me of that lonely feeling
When I said goodbye

I'm leaving now, leaving now, leaving now
I'm gonna get back home somehow
Recorded: 1962/03/18, first released on Pot Luck

A fair rocker from the 1962 LP "Pot Luck, which was easily the worst non-soundtrack LP of Elvis' in the 60's. This song is not bad, but far from his greatest rock and roll recordings. 3 stars.

The best songs on Pot Luck were from Pomus/Shuman and this is one of them.

Pot Luck is one of my favourite albums although this song is not a particular favourite. Having said that it is performed and engineered with perfection as are all the songs on the album

An awesome, imaginative, atmospheric rocker from my favourite album.
