Bought a one way ticket on a train headin' out of this one horse town Ain't too sure where I'm goin' 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 every day now this road gets longer on by the mile as my life rolls onward and my soul grows tired
Got nowhere to run to, Lord nowhere 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 long gone
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 night grow longer and my days grow old
Got nowhere to run to, Lady nowhere to hide, ain't got no money, Man I gave up on pride so where are you going? Tell me brother 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 life rolls onward and my days grow old
Crowded bar rooms, whores and pushers they all share the streets While the rich grow stronger and the poor die weak
Got nowhere to run to, lady nowhere to hide, ain't got no money, Man I gave up on pride so where are you going? Mister I'd like to know, 'cause I'm a long way, long way, long way away from home
