Fields are deathly quiet Where the cotton used to grow I'm a stranger in a land That I used to know In a land A land I've not forgotten Look away Far Away
Everything has changed here "Cept some things inside of me I've hid 'em from the world Kept them under lock and key Like the sound of my mama's voice Callin' me back home To the place Where I belong
Far Away Far Away Don't know why I left you And look how long I've stayed Far away Far away How'd I get so far away
Carved my name one Sunday morning On a sweet magonia tree I cried when I walked away Broke my heart to leave Took that little piece of me Put it in my pocket I've lost myself a time or two And I never once forgot it
Far away Far away Don't know why I left you And look how long I've stayed Far away Far away How'd I get so far away
Far away Far away Don't know why I left you But look how long I've stayed Far away Far away How'd I get so far away How did I get so far away
