How Many Songs Till I Get Home Lyrics - Waterboys

I've got a hard road ahead of me 

and a battlefield behind 

I've got a heavy load on top of me 

that's mine and only mine 

I can't go running to nobody 

solicitating help 

I gotta walk a mile and then a mile 

and walk it by myself 

Ain't no ride on offer 

Ain't no easy way 

Damn these blues, grease my shoes, 

speed me on my way

Lord, how many songs till I get home? 

How many songs till I get home? 

How many rights? How many wrongs? 

How many songs till I get home? 

Distance unidentified... destiny unknown 

How many songs till I get home? 

The devil came to dinner 

said he'd been shipwrecked 

spit was forming at his mouth 

and running down his neck 

He beat upon the table 

he piped upon a pipe 

He cursed in broken english 

then he tried to pick a fight 

He summoned me to side with him 

said I had no choice 

When he left I smelt his breath 

and I recognized his voice

Lord, how many songs till I get home? 

How many songs till I get home? 

How many rights? How many wrongs? 

How many songs till I get home? 

Distance unidentified... destiny unknown 

How many songs till I get home? 

From the High King of Glory 

to the lone abandoned child 

everybody has a story 

everybody walks a mile 

I've told you mine already 

I'll tell you just one more 

about a son of ancient Israel 

You heard his name before 

He was suckled in a stable 

nailed upon a cross 

Before he died he gave a cry 

and this is what it was... 

Lord, how many songs till I get home? 

How many songs till I get home? 

How many rights? How many wrongs? 

How many songs till I get home? 

Distance unidentified... destiny unknown 

How many songs till I get home?
