My crooked life just won't fit in the lines
On the highway
So I take the backroads that wind on through
The rolling hills I see
It's a long way home
A long way home
I know this life don't share so easy
That's why what you'll see on the seat there next to me
Is just a bag with my hopes and dreams
It's a long way home
A long way home
I should know
All the miles on these wheels are my own
Please leave the light on
Please leave the light on
Please leave the light on
Tonight
It's a long way home
A long way home
I should know
All the miles on these feet
Leaving callouses deep
And i can't wonder why
I'm a hawk in the night
On my own
It's a long way home
