A Long Way From Home

D A G A

D                  A
Midnight caf?, an- other truck stop
  G                        A
A lot of bad habits, go a- long with
 this job
             D                  
I think I'll ask for forgiveness 
 A
later tonight
        G                   A
I'll be hatin' myself, come mornin' 
light
          G
I've been livin' wrong, Lord, help 
me be strong

[Chorus]
      D             D/C#
I'm a long way from home
          G                        
From that old dirt road, from 
mama's soul, I was a rock that had 
   A
to roll
          D                    D/C#
I've been gone, have I lost my way
       G                           
It's a heavy load I choose to toll,
         A
 there's highs and lows
                    D
I'm a long way from home

Continues after the ad
     D            A
Just yesterday, I swore to myself
    G                        A
I'd turn the corner, now I'm back in
 this hell
       D                           
I keep chasin' the distance out in 
A
front of me
     G                             
This heart of mine gets dirty, 
  A
every time I think it's clean
    G
I'm sendin' up a prayer, is anybody 
there

[Chorus]
      D             D/C#
I'm a long way from home
          G                        
From that old dirt road, from 
mama's soul, I was a rock that had 
   A
to roll
          D                    D/C#
I've been gone, have I lost my way
       G                           
It's a heavy load I choose to toll,
         A
 there's highs and lows
                    D
I'm a long way from home

          G                   A
I've been livin' wrong, Lord, help 
me be strong
    G            A           
I'm sendin' up a prayer --- is 
                G
anybody there ---

[Chorus]
      D             D/C#
I'm a long way from home
          G                        
From that old dirt road, from 
mama's soul, I was a rock that had 
   A
to roll
          D                    D/C#
I've been gone, have I lost my way
       G                           
It's a heavy load I choose to toll,
         A
 there's highs and lows
                    D    A
I'm a long way from home

              G      G A D
Long way from home
