Bought a one way ticket
on a train
headin' out of this one horse town
ain't too sure where I'm going
I see the faces
of the children living out on the streets
lord knows I'm thankful
I had my family to care for me
cause everyday now
this road gets longer on by the mile,my life rolls onward
my soul grows tired

No where [bad word] to lord
no where to hide
ain't got no money
man I gave up on pride
so where are you going, tell me
I'd like to know
cause I'm a long way away from home

Lonely feelings
lord they lay by my side
most every night, I don't know why
they seem to haunt me
I feel the traces
of the memories etched upon my soul
as my nights grow longer
and my days grow old

No where [bad word] to lord
no where to hide
ain't got no money
man I gave up on pride
so where are you going,tell me
I'd like to know
cause I'm a long way away from home
lord I'm a long way from home
