I've got these letters
tattooed on my arm
That remind me each second of
where I come from
And the long hard road
to get me back home
Back to my mama who
raised me up right
And back to my lady who
I held every night
It's a long hard road trying
to get home
I'd been gone now for too long
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake
the ground below
I'm just trying to find
a way to make it back home
I'm not trying to part
the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow
the throne
I'm just trying to find
a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home
I've got this image
engraved in my mind
Of a light that I had in
a whole different time
It still breathes and lives
at the end of the road
I've seen mountains and valleys
through my missing days
But I never once parted with how
you begged me to stay
I will run down that long hard
and treacherous road to get home
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake
the ground below
I'm just trying to find
a way to make it back home
I'm not trying to part
the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow
the throne
I'm just trying to find
a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
As it pounds like a drum
On my journey back home
I've been gone for so long
But my heart it carries on
I won't give up
I'm not trying to stop a hurricane
I'm not trying to shake
the ground below
I'm just trying to find
a way to make it back home
I'm not trying to part
the ocean waves
I'm not trying to overthrow
the throne
I'm just trying to find
a way to make it back home
I'm just trying to get home
I'm just trying to get home
