Far Away Lyrics - Stuart Marty

"Far Away" 

Written by Marty Stuart 

Fields are deathly quiet 

Where the cotton used to grow 

I'm a stranger in a land 

That I used to know 

In a land 

A land I've not forgotten 

Look away 

Far Away 

Everything has changed here 

"Cept some things inside of me 

I've hid 'em from the world 

Kept them under lock and key 

Like the sound of my mama's voice 

Callin' me back home 

To the place 

Where I belong 

Far Away 

Far Away 

Don't know why I left you 

And look how long I've stayed 

Far away 

Far away 

How'd I get so far away 

Carved my name one Sunday morning 

On a sweet magnolia tree 

I cried when I walked away 

Broke my heart to leave 

Took that little piece of me 

Put it in my pocket 

I've lost myself a time or two 

And I never once forgot it 

Far away 

Far away 

Don't know why I left you 

And look how long I've stayed 

Far away 

Far away 

How'd I get so far away 

Far away 

Far away 

Don't know why I left you 

But look how long I've stayed 

Far away 

Far away 

How'd I get so far away 

How did I get so far away
