I'm a long way from home and so all alone Homesick, like I never thought I'd be I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong Someone please watch over me
I'm not accustomed to these feelings The loneliness is burning in my soul Sometimes the mind is so misleading I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told
I'm a long way from home and so all alone Homesick, like I never thought I'd be I'm a long way from home and everything is wrong Someone please watch over me
When Waylon did it, he sang this verse
'I wish I knew the force within me That keeps my mind out of control What makes me reach for things that I can't see I wish I'd stayed at home like I was told'
