Bought a one way ticket On a train Beadin' 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 everyday now This road gets longer on by the mile, my life rolls onward My soul grows tired 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 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 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 a long way from home
