Lyrics

A Little Closer To My Home

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been runnin'

Lookin' for a mirror

Just to see my hope fade

'Cause I know that even my own company

Beats bein' alone in this old lonely place

That's why I'm headin'

Woah, a little closer to my home

I'm headin', oh a little closer to my home

I'm headin' a little closer to my home

'Cause this Earth ain't no place

I'm proud to call my own

I look in the mirror

Strange eyes look back at me

Oh and I wonder

What can the matter be?

Sorrow my own, my own

Loneliness so far from home

And I'm wonderin' where

In my life I've gone wrong

But I'm gonna sit in pity

Oh, a little closer to my home

I'm headin' a little closer to my home

I'm headin', oh, a little closer to my home

'Cause this old Earth ain't no place that I'm proud to call my own

Just headin', woah, a little closer to my home

I'm headin' a little closer to my home

I'm headin' a little closer to my home

Because this Earth ain't no place

I'm proud to call my, my own
