Story Behind The Song
I was playing with a band night after night after night, when I suddenly realised everything was clockwork and there was no performance only automaton. I then questioned why I was there and did I want to continue. The song is my answer.

Lyrics
Thinkin' 'bout - comin' home soon
been away too long - sleepin' in a distant room
wondin' about you - and how you're gettin 'on
Oh I've been on the road too long
Memories fadin' - like a long distant rhyme
from too little exposure - in too much time
and now i'm thnkin' - I may have done somethin' wrong
Oh I've been on the road too long
Now it's time to come home
but I don't know where that is (no, not anymore)
It's the end of the line and I feel I'm gettin too old for this (but I wanna go home)
now I'm sittin here - just another face
In another bar in another place
just another shot of Tequila, before the final song
Oh I've been on the road too long
Been on the road too long
