I've been on the road too long
Moving in the wrong direction
I don't know where I belong
I don't know what I will do, if I can't get back home
Troubles I've got on my own
They don't fit no other person
Memories keep rollin' on
I don't know what I will do, if I can't get back home
I don't fit, but I don't give a damn
I won't quit, 'cause I know who I am
And I admit and I've been on the left
Bit by bit, I'll review my plan
This is it, do the best I can
Trust and understand
'Cause I know I'm loved
I'll be on my way
Got no need to stay... 'round here
'Cause I been on this road too long
Going in the wrong direction
And I don't know where I come from
All I know is I will die, if I don't get back home
