Long Way To Get

I've got a mountain to climb before I get over this hill
I've got the world to unwind before I ever sit still
I've got a hard row to hoe before my seed is sown
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

I've got so much to put down before that's all she wrote
I've got so much to give for my heart ain't so broke
I've got to find myself where I can never be alone
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

There's an ocean of reason that I cannot explain
There's the weight of the world like a ball and a chain
There's a black hole inside that I fill up with stones
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home

There's a man I've never met before who looks a lot like me
There's a little place called heaven that I'll probably never see
There's a thing called peace of mind that I have never known
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
I've got a long way to get before I get back home
