Lyrics
A long way from home
I?ve hauled my load from town to town
Pushed on when the sun went down
Dingy diners were my home
Criss-crossed every state line
Not once but time after time
Yet I never felt alone
Till one day when out of the blue
You made me realize ? that
Without you in my arms
I?m a long way from home
I guess gasoline is in my blood
Yes I?m a man of the road
Don?t need no fancy friends
I?ve got my radio
Till one day when out of the blue
You made me realize ? that
Without you in my arms
I?m a long way from home
Still rigging from coast to coast
But getting home for the Sunday roast
There?s no place I?d rather be
I guess some rolling stones
Gather moss and find their homes
I never thought it would be me
Till one day when out of the blue
You made me realize ? that
Without you in my arms
I?m a long way from home
