While this song was for a male character - there's nothing in the lyrics that restricts it:

"Go Home Train" from FADE OUT - FADE IN
Posted: 6/21/18 at 1:36pm
Goodbye Until Tomorrow - The Last 5 Years
Goodbye, Old Girl - Damn Yankees (I know its for a man, but it is a beautiful song)
What I Did For Love - A Chorus Line
Hard to Say Goodbye - Dreamgirls (could be sung as a solo)
And this song isn't so much about leaving rather imagining someplace else but
Somewhere That's Green - Little Shop of Horrors

"Leaving's Not the Only Way to Go" - Big River
"Every Time We Say Goodbye" - Cole Porter
"Move On" - Sunday In The Park With George

"I'm Going Back" - Bells are Ringing

Not really -about- leaving, per se, but the central number in a scene about moving to a new location, and could potentially be fitting:
"You've Got a Friend" from Beautiful

“Gettin’ Outta Town” from 42ND STREET

"Go Home, Train" (grammatically it needs a comma, but I don't have the score in front of me) and "I'm Goin' Back" are two of my favorites. Jule Styne sure knew his way around a Broadway torch song.
To the OP, if you have a strong belt, you might also look at "Wherever He Ain't" from MACK AND MABEL.

I know its not at the Broadway stage yet, but Don't Forget Me from Bombshell would be great.

I've never heard of a song called "I'm Going Back" in The Pajama Game...

He meant "I'm Goin' Back" from BELLS ARE RINGING.
It's another man's song, but I've heard women sing it to great effect: "I Don't Remember" from STARTING HERE, STARTING NOW.
And if the OP wants a standard, she could easily sing "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair". Women's chorus optional.

There's always "So Long, Dearie" from HELLO,YOU-KNOW-WHO.

It's Been Grand Knowing You from She Loves Me.
