Lyrics

How much longer will I have to stay here?

One more day, or a month, or a year?

Far from everything I've ever known

Far away from the Island called Sodor

Far away from that Island called home

Where are you Annie and Clarabel?

Have you been left in the shed?

Or are you out on my branch line

With some other engine instead

I miss all of my friends

I miss hearing their names

Percy and Toby and Gordon

It's strange but I even miss James

I'm not joking, I even miss James

I wanted to have an adventure

I wanted to wander and roam

I wanted to see places I'd never seen

But now I just wanna go home

Tell me when do I get to go home

All I wanna do is go back to Sodor

All I wanna do is get back to my friends

I don't wanna be stuck here forever and always

In this hot house where work never ends

I wanted adventure

I wanted to roam

I wanted new places but now I want home

I mean it, I have to go home

So lock up your gates with your skeleton key

You can't make me stay where I don't want to be

It's not right, it's not fair

This is no place for me

I want to, I need to, I have to be free to go home!

I'll find my way home

I'll make my way home

It's time to go home

I'm going home!

Trivia

Many of Thomas' friends do not appear in his memory line up of engines:
- Duck, Flying Scotsman and Winston are the only standard gauge engines presently in the show who do not appear in it.
- The above, Bash, Dash, Ferdinand, Gator and Diesel 10 are the only standard gauge engines in CGI that are on or accessible from Sodor who do not appear in it.
- The above and the international engines introduced in The Great Race are the only standard gauge engines in CGI who do not appear in it at all.

Rusty is the only narrow-gauge engine to appear in the line up of engines in Thomas' memory.
When Thomas is travelling on the Mainland map, many of England's landmarks are present, such as Blackpool Tower, York Minster, Shakespere's Birthplace, Skegness and Tower Bridge. It also showed Snowdonia which is in Wales.
This is the first song to be sung only by Thomas in the CGI series, since all the previous were sung with another engine(s) or coach(es).
