Lyrics
Long Way Back 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.
Was that the highway calling me
Or just my nervous energy
Well either way I had to leave
At least that's what I thought
What's the good in being gone
You're not there and life goes on
You're somewhere else you don't belong
And it's a long way
It's a long way
Such a long way back home
Hollywood's got that walk of fame
People walk right on those names
You can tread on fallen stars
All the way down Sunset Boulevard
All that glitters is not gold
Even gold is hard and cold
Like the way it turns your soul
And it's a long way
It's a long way
Such a long way back home
Sometimes the only difference 'tween
A pilgrim and a prodigal son
Is the difference 'tween the dream that we begin
And the thing that we become
What have we become
So hail a taxi, catch a train
Ride the shuttle to the plane
Strangers I don't want to meet
I wish them well away from me
Vomit bags and magazines
Flying nuns that bring me drinks
While out the window I can see
It's a long way
It's a long way
Such a long way back home
