Lyrics

SO FAR FROM HOME

An alley at midnight, the freezing rain drums
My shoes have soaked through, my feet have gone numb
I?ve got nothing to do, I?ve got nothing to say
I?ve got no place to go, I?ve got no place to stay
And I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home

Down here on the night side it?s Russian Roulette
So pick up your pistols and lay down your bets
Load all of the chambers and give them a spin
You got nothing to lose, you got nothing to win
And I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home


CHORUS
No father,no mother, no friends and no lover
I?ve never felt so lost and alone
And I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home

BRIDGE
Having been what I?ve been, having done what I?ve done
Having wakened the monster within me
I cannot play the Prodigal Son
I can never go home again
I can never, never go home again

It?s a pretty good doorway I found for the night
I threw out an old bum who was too drunk to fight
The doorway should keep out the worst of the storm
And the blanket I stole from the bum?s pretty warm
But I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home

I?ve been on the road since I don?t know when
You might trust a stranger but never a friend
Better learn how to steal, better learn how to lie
That?s the rules of the road, better learn them or die
And I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home

CHORUS
No father, no mother, no friends and no lover
I?ve never felt so lost and alone
And I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home
And I?m so far from home, Lord, I?m so far from home
