Head and Go

Hello,
I have a rather weird question. Do both versions of the following sentences sound natural to you and what would be the differences in meaning/nuance: "I was going/heading out of the room when she called me back." "They looked as if they were heading for/going to the train station." and "We'd better head/go home before it gets dark."?

Thank you

No real nuances there. To 'head out' carries a bit of energy in preparation for a somewhat more arduous journey sometimes. More real is that it is regional slang.
