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
