Long Way Back Home Lyrics - Singles - Hometown News

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
