Back Home

The day I left Tennessee

I swore I had to go

You couldn't tell me anything

That I didn't already know

Sometimes the nights turn into days and I can't sleep

I stare at a ceiling wondering why

Somewhere along the way I realized

It's a long, long, long way back home

When I saw my name in lights

I knew I's on my way

A new girl or two each night

I thought I had it made

Sometimes the nights turned into days and I couldn't sleep

I'd stare at the ceiling wondering why

Somewhere along the way I realized

It's a long, long, long way back home

Now I ain't proud of all my running

You could say I lost my way

And maybe I had this coming

And this is my reckoning day

Sometimes the nights turn into days and I can't sleep

I stare at a ceiling wondering why

Somewhere along the way I realized

It's a long, long, long way back home
