First, here are the chords (with the disclaimer that I might have something wrong):

I noticed three small features in the song:
The line "Cindy, don't let me down" in the chorus is sung to a descending phrase (G# G# E# F# E# D#), so while it's negated, there's a musical representation of "let[ting] me down."
At the end of the chorus, the chord progression goes to the tonic (C# major), and there's a tonic note (C#) at the end of the vocal melody for that section (the second syllable of the melisma'd "bound"). The tonic is the musical "home," so there's a musical representation of "And I'll be homeward bound."
The same feature is in the third verse. The chord progression moves to the tonic, and there's a tonic note (the second syllable of the melisma'd "home"), both of which musically represent the home in the line "Soon I'll be headin' home."
