Long Way Home Lyrics

Kevin Welch Long Way Home

I WOKE UP TO THE SOUND OF A CHURCH BELL RINGING
SUNDAY MORNING RAIN
DREAMING OF YOU AGAIN
WILL IT EVER COME TRUE AGAIN

I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THE MILES BETWEEN US NOW
AND HOW I GOT SO FAR FROM YOU
RUNNING FROM MYSELF I KNOW
NOW IT'S SUCH A LONG WAY HOME

CHORUS:
I'VE BEEN AS LOST AS A LONG SHOT GAMBLE
WITH EVERY DOLLAR DOWN
STUCK OUT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
TRYIN' TO TURN IT ALL AROUND
GET MYSELF BACK ON THE ROAD
NOW IT'S SUCH A LONG WAY HOME

WE USED TO RACE LIKE THE DEVIL DOWN A STRAIGHTAWAY
NEVER A WORRY IN THE WORLD
CHASING DOWN A THIN WHITE LINE
GIRL, WE MADE SOME REAL GOOD TIME

WE SAW THE ROAD UP AHEAD TAKE A TRUN FOR THE WORSE
WE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO SLOW DOWN
THAT'S WHERE WE WENT WRONG I KNOW
NOW IT'S SUCH A LONG WAY HOME

I'VE BEEN AS LOST AS A LONG SHOT GAMBLE
WITH EVERY DOLLAR DOWN
STUCK OUT HERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE
TRYIN' TO TURN IT ALL AROUND
GET MYSELF BACK ON THE ROAD
NOW IT'S SUCH A LONG WAY HOME

I WOKE UP TO THE SOUND OF A CHURCH BELL RINGING
THROUGH THE SUNDAY MORNING RAIN
DREAMING OF YOU AGAIN
WILL IT EVER COME TRUE AGAIN
I GUESS THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO KNOW
IT'S GONNA BE A LONG WAY HOME
