Long Way Home

Durand Jones & The Indications

Compositor: Aaron Frazer / j.b. flatt

I'm just a long, long way from home
I'm just a long, long way from home
Lord knows I ain't a saint
My folks ain't the ones to blame

I ain't chose the path I roam
And it's a long way home
I'm tired of the chains
That keep holding me down

And I'm stuck in the fog
That I just can't see around
My feet grow weary
With these miles on the road

But I got my brother to help me carry the load
Well, I've been feeling all alone
In this world out far
And I've been wrapped in imitations

For the love I sought
Through the risings of the water
And the nights of endless black
I know my sister's always got my back

And it's a long, long way from home
I'm just a long, long way from home
Lord knows I ain't a saint
My folks ain't the ones to blame

I ain't chose the path I roam
And it's a long way home
So we walk along the road
That we did not plan

We bought it on the ships
To a promised land
From the time we had together
To the loathsome catacomb
We don't walk it on our own
And it's a long way home

Well it's a long, long way from home
I'm just a long, long way from home
Lord knows I ain't a saint
My folks ain't the ones to blame

I ain't chose the path I roam
And it's a long way home
We don't walk it on our own
And it's a long way home
