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
