|
I was born one rainy morning in a little house across town |
|
Daddy liked to roam leave |
|
Mama alone |
|
She just couldn't tie him down |
|
He liked his gamblin and whiskey |
|
And mama just liked to cook and sew |
|
It made me a man before my time |
|
I felt many a cold wind blow |
|
Worked real hard most all of my life |
|
Bought a farmhouse out in the sticks |
|
Set by the fire most every night |
|
Working on my guitar licks |
|
Before too long |
|
I was on my way |
|
Playing from town to town |
|
I guess I'm a little like |
|
Daddy was |
|
Gotta keep on moving around |
|
Chorus: >This journey takes me far away from home |
|
Sometimes it makes me feel so alone |
|
So alone Now |
|
I look back on yesterday |
|
Wondering what |
|
I'd done Did |
|
I help somebody along the way |
|
Or did I just look out for number one |
|
I know I can't change a thing |
|
So don't put me down |
|
Cause I didn't cling to your heart |
|
Oh I feel like dying when we're apart |
|
Chorus: This journey takes me far away from home |
|
With nothing left to hold on to |
|
But a voice from the telephone |
|
It's taken me away from every love |
|
I've ever known |
|
Sometimes it makes me feel so alone |
|
So alone |
