| I’ve been on the road such a long time |
| It’s beginning to get to my brain |
| Staying in so many places |
| And every hotel looks the same |
| It’s such a long way-such a long way |
| A long way home |
| I’ve been watching the road from the window |
| Trying to count the white lines |
| Checking the miles on the signposts |
| I look at my watch for the time |
| It’s such a long way-such a long way |
| A long way home |
| Wheels keep turning miles and miles of road |
| You see the same damn thing |
| Get to the venue put on my guitar |
| I hope I don’t break a string |
| Wheels keep turning miles and miles of road |
| You see the same damn thing |
| Get to the venue put on my guitar |
| I hope I don’t break a string |
| So if I ever decide to throw in the towel for good |
| Then I just get to thinking |
| What else would I do if I could |
| It’s such a long way-such a long way |
| A long way home |
