Lyrics
It’s a long way home, and I can’t find my way back
It’s a long way home, and I cant find my way back
After miles and miles of walking on this never-ending railroad track
You know I have that urge to wander, Lord, I have that lonesome urge to roam
Lord, I have that urge to wander, have that urge to roam
Life a fool it took me from this place, a thousand, thousand miles from home
She told me that the grass was green enough, grass was greener right here
She told me I was crazy and the grass was green enough right here
But I thought I knew better, oh lord, those were words I didn’t hear
I spent two years on the road, musta been six months standing in the rain
I spent two years on the road, 6 months standing outside in the rain
Now I’m calling to my baby, calling to my baby again
Cos I was such a fool to leave that woman, standing on her porch crying
I was such a fool to leave her standing on the back porch crying
I was such a fool for rambling, Such a fool and I ain’t lying
But I got that wicked step behind me, got that killing wind right off my back
But I got that wicked step behind me, got that killing wind right off my back
But I left a long trail of tears, stretched out over a thousand miles of railroad track
Well, if I ever get back home, I’m gonna nail both feet to the ground
If I ever get back home, I’m gonna nail both feet to the ground
And I ain’t gonna roam no more, I ain’t gonna wander around
It’s a long way home, Oh Lord, I cannot find my way back
It’s a long way home and I can’t find my way back
After miles and miles of walking on a never-ending railroad track
