A Long Way from Home |
LyricsA Long Way from HomeBy Scott Jeffrey Copyright 2003 There?s a thousand miles stretched out behind me. There?s a thousand more till San Antoine. I got your letter in my pocket to remind me That you?ll be gone by the time that I get home. I?m a long way from home Out here on my own On a long and lonesome highway Feeling lost and all alone Sittin? here on this Greyhound bus I can?t get my mind off us And these small towns just remind me I?m a long long way from home. I watched my dreams fade to gray in Nashville Playing empty clubs and nameless bars. Went flat broke near Golden Colorado Spent a few cold nights just sleepin? neath the stars. REPEAT CHORUS (BRIDGE) I know you?ve never understood this thing inside me. That could drive a man to risk most anything. But it?s not hard to understand the light that guides me. It?s just anyone who?ll listen to me sing. Wrote a song ?bout you from words I?d left unspoken Pawned my guitar so I could buy the fare I?m coming home to fix the things I?ve broken I guess there?s just some things that words cannot repair I?m a long way from home Out here on my own On a long and lonesome highway Feeling lost and all alone Sitting here on this greyhound bus Can?t get my mind off us All these small towns just remind me I?m a long long way from home. REPEAT CHORUS |
