Lyrics

I?ve got her picture in my pocket
Gotta a ticket in my hand.
I?m sitting on this suitcase
Wondering where I stand.
I?m a long, long, long, long, long, long way from home.

I remember the sun fell through the curtains
As her tears came falling down.
Some thing you know for certain;
Some things cannot be found.
I?m a long, long, long, long, long, long way from home.

Now I?m staring down another day
& I can?t see how I lost my way.
I?m running scared; I?m running blind.
As the sun comes up . . . I fall behind.

The first time that I saw her
In that pretty yellow dress,
She was asking for directions
& I took a wild guess.
I?m a long, long, long, long, long, long way from home.

Soon there were flowers in the garden
And on every window ledge.
My shirts out on the clothesline
and a cat upon the bed.
It?s a long, long, long, long, long, long way back home.

Her love should?ve been there tomorrow.
Her love should be here today.
But love left me only sorrow.
Lord help me; I think it?s bound to stay.








The clouds are dark and heavy
The mountain?s out of view.
Even that Big Ole? Sky
Can?t make its way back to blue.
I?m a long, long, long, long, long, long way from home.

Now I?m stepping on the sidewalk
And I?m counting all the cracks.
I was headed for the platform
But I can?t find the tracks.
I?m a long, long, long, long, long, long way from home.

Now I?m staring down another day
I still can?t see how I lost my way.
I?m running scared; I?m running out of time.
As the sun comes up . . . I fall behind.
